Monday Monday!

Well my dad called to say that his cousin Chico is having a mass or a prayer said for me in mexico... So that's pretty cool!!! Prayers around the world how awesome is that? I wish I knew some spanish other then the Dora the explora spanish. Dad and Mom thanks for your support and all your positive support and help. B&B always so supportive and helping me take the beast on... Of course watching the little ones. Erin I love that you follow and always comment you're great! Jewel & little Eric are becoming little fixtures in the Maisonville house.

Today I went to the wellsprings to my peer group meeting. It was awesome I wish I could talk more about it but it is confidential. The people are positive and awesome and so supportive. I am losing hair in some odd places on the body. All the hair on my belly has pretty much fallen out. But the hair on my upper chest is all still there and I look like a crazy circus freak. I shaved my face last monday and now my facial hair won't grow back. My wife is disappointed because she likes my goatee but after a week of not shaving there's no goatee coming back. She's says I look like a molester without my goatee. Sorry honey I guess it's Lester the molester for awhile. My cravings are picking back up although not so much for pickles anymore. Newly added cravings include, Fruit loop, Regular fritos,Cuccumbers in vineager,oatmeal, all fruit, Summer sausage, milk. I'm obsessive when a certain flavor taste good in my mouth. I bought some regular Hubba Bubba gum on the way downtown yesterday I had chewed and spit out all 5 pieces before I got downtown. So I stopped and had bought another 2 packs because I had to have the flavor. I bought some spearmint halls and ate 2 of the 3 packs in about a half hour and then went onto chew a big pack of sunflower seeds. They could make a movie out of my eating a freaky hairloss. I feel like a hillbilly inbred from that movie wrong turn...

Ok so I have theraputic touch and meditation on Wednesday and I'm going to work thursday for a bit and a Windsor Spitfire game Thursday night in Windsor. I will stay the night in Windsor and hopefully see a few people when I'm there. Roma Pizza will be something I need to have when I'm in windsor. I haven't been to windsor since my diagnosis and that's my hometown so that will be special. A huge part of my support is in windsor so it'll be nice to be back although it'll be a brief visit. Sometimes I get chemo brain so if I forget to thank someone or told you something twice or slightly different just shake it off. Jen actually goes out in the middle of night to get stuff for me or fetches my drinks without a complaint because of my sickness. So not all is bad when you have cancer. Oneday when my doctor tells me I'm in remission I'll have to run for my dear life from my wife because I'll owe her a few...

Well Christmas is close and I'm so excited for the girls and there christmas. They really got a grip on it this year and are so excited for Santa as am I. Christmas has always been my favourite time of year I love the music, gifts, Baby Jesus. I love it all so hopefully my spirits will stay high through christmas and it will feel as normal as it possibly could. I don't feel like I have the ups and downs I had when first diagnosed. I feel like life has taken crappy turn but I still feel so lucky and blessed for all I got. At the end of the day that is the way I feel so bring christmas on and lets celebrate! And food at christmas yummy!
