Welcome to the Chemo Lounge

Today is Monday, my first day of my 5th 3 day session. I feel a well as I have since I started this adventure. It took about a week to 10 days to get over the effects of my last Chemo session. Each one gets a little worse. I have no reason to believe this session will be any different. At least, I will have only one more 3 day session starting the 15th of July. According to my doctor I will have a CAT scan after I finish all my sessions and then another scan 3 months later (mid-Oct). Then they will evaluate my progress and go from there.  Hopefully, I will be in remission. If not, they will come up with another plan of attack to deal with the cancer. Different Chemo chemicals and treatment plan. At least I will have 3 months off to be normal again. It seems like forever since I have felt normal.  Will go to Idaho in Aug to visit relatives and play golf and hopefully forget about my cancer for a little while..

Igor, my bartender is taking a few weeks off to visit his home in Serbia. Just my luck, I was just getting him trained. Sean will be substituting and I hope Igor left meticulous instruction on the right mixture of rat poison and vodka.

Today is Tuesday and I'm starting to feel it. It looks like another bad week, but, it is to be expected.  Pretty tired so I won't write much.

Now it's Wednesday and it's almost over. As soon as I get home I will go to bed. I'm very tired and will spend about 18 to 20 hrs in bed for the rest of the week. I will try to play golf tomorrow but we'll have to see how that goes. If at all possible, I will play.

Today is Sunday and I'm starting to feel a little more human. As expected this week was tough.  But, I'm not the only one going through this. I am constantly meeting people who are going through the same thing I am.  They don't understand why any more than I do. They are just ordinary people with extraordinary problems, and it is difficult to comprehend.

Sunday is golf day with GA and I hope I can finish the round. I do enjoy my Sundays' with GA because it gives us a chance to enjoy day together doing what we enjoy. Hopefully, there will be many Sundays' to come.
