Happy New Year!

Well a BIG thanks to my wife for all her support throughout are crazy last few months you are my true love. Erin thanks for the new years eve bash with the kids it was great. Jolaine it was great to have you at chemo even though I slept the whole time. B&B thanks for all the help I don't know how we'd do it without you! Colleen & Chico I'm glad to hear you're in florida with 2 of my favourite people Shannon and Bev. Never too late to learn some good old golfing I say.


I'm happy to say that round 3 of chemo has no signs of nausea again. But I notice that my energy level is way down. I hate to say it but chemo is tiring me out. I'm more like a sprinter now I can go hard for 2 or 3 hours then I need a nap. So that's a bit frustrating for me but these aren't huge obstacles it's just the way it is. I'm trying to write more in my blog but I've been to tired to write most nights. I have a CAT scan scheduled for Feb 17th so this will give me the first real indication of just how much my tumor has shrunk throughout this chemo treatment. So mark that on your calender... I also forgot to take my prednisone one morning and it screwed up my sleep for a few days. One very heartbreaking thing for me is that food is tasting wierd for me lately. I told the wife last night that foods aren't tasting the same as they used to this is a true bummer to me. Pickles still taste good as well as cuccumber and vineager. I went to my support group on Monday which was great I missed the group over the holiday. When the facilitator tolds us we only had 3 weeks left with the group I started to panic. All I thought was who am I going to speak with after they're gone. Then the facilitator said unless you want to exchange #'s and still meet. I piped up like a desperate puppy and said I will, I will... Thank god everyone else seemed excited to continue. There is just something calming about talking to someone that is going what you're going through. This group has reallllllllllllllllly helped me and they don't even know it. I have my first reiki this week so I'm excited for this. Also more meditation and theraputic touch this week. I had a very positive holidays there were ups and downs but more then ever cancer has picked the wrong fight! Thanks for the book dad I've just browsed through it for now but will read it.

I've been a bit spoiled over the holidays with a new laptop and a blackberry for myself. I also had 2 very fun poker nights over the holidays. Thanks Felice and Kent for letting us use your houses.
