Well, it's my turn

Well, it's my turn

I just got back from an unexpected week's stay in the hospital.  It isn't good news.  I'm still capable of independent living for now.  That may likely change in the future.  I wish I could share more but it's kind of tough.

Day 7 Radiation Treatment.  This was Tuesday.  Again, nice and easy.  Returned in afternoon to speak with Oncology for chemotherapy.  I will need to get an infusion port.  Chemo will begin at that time.  I will be getting a combination of 2 chemo drugs and since there is a good match with my cancer type a monoclonal antibody treatment.  I will have to pay attention for side effects.  I am hopeful I will respond well to treatment.  Requested a Covid booster and a handicapped parking permit.  Both were approved.

Day 8 Radiation Treatment.  Was quick and easy.  I got my Covid booster.  I am planning a little day out before chemo begins for some relaxation with my wife.

I will have to pay attention for side effects. 

The tail isn't really a bother, but growing the gills? That's a whole other thing. 😉

I thought I should update.  I completed days 9 and 10 of radiation therapy and got highly nauseous.  I ended up back in hospital.

In October I started mu chemo and that too made me sick for a while.  I just completed my second chemo and it is better because I'm keeping after my anti-nausea meds.  So far so good.  I heard from my minister today for a pleasant talk.

Thanks for the update. I'm glad you're keeping your spirits up. Hope you get some time off for good behavior so that you can take some short trips before winter sets in...maybe take in some of the fall foliage. I say maybe since I'm not sure where you live back there in the states.

Here in Israel, not much by way of fall, certainly no blazing fall color changes. I do really miss that.
