March 16 update

Doing ok. Had mouth sores a few days last week (they say that's expected). I am having this issue where sometimes when I try to eat my throat will not contract and swallow so I end up spitting back up. Also an expected side effect. I am going to call McDonalds and take on old Subway Jared. I am eating a milkshake a day and losing weight. Granted it takes me 8 hours to get a whole milkshake down me but still, they gotta be able to work with that right? My sis has an therapist friend who she said would send me some throat exercises to help with that. Toni got a cheap Southwest flight so she is coming in Thursday morning and will be here thru Sunday for my chemo this weekend plus so I can at least see some family on Easter. That will be 4/9 chemos...almost halfway thru the ever other week chemo sessions and then we decide to do chemo monthly or radiation.

My MRI this past Monday looked "Wonderful" per my Dr.

Friday I rebelled and ripped my headband off in a meeting. I said "you all know what I am going through and if you get a glance of my scar and it is offensive let me know but this thing is driving me crazy and I've decided I'm not so vain anymore." Everyone just kinda nodded and carried on.

I'm really fighting with the fatigue. I need 12 hours of sleep right now but I am just accepting it and going to be by 5 or 6 each evening so I can work as much as possible. I had a barfing spell this morning so I ended up missing church but I watched some guy on TV and the lesson was on Paul and being content with wherever you are. Boy did that hit home.
