whistling toward the gallows?

Weight = 232 lbs.

Well, weight-wise I am back where I started. In a way that is kind of surprising since during the weeks that are away from the actual chemo, my appetite is virtually insatiable, and I am controlling my eating not at all. My body must remember something about its prior set point for weight since the 232-lb vicinity is where I was for a while prior to my change of life last August.

It has been a good third week, as most of them have been: Eating well, a little more energy; sleeping pretty well; still napping on 3 of 5 days, depending. Accompanied Jan to SLC to get her hair done and linked up with some buds for a good lunch. Overnighted at the townhouse with Lisa and drove back the next day. Driving a couple hours tires me out, an indicator of how far I have to come back. Practicing about a half hour a day, but clearly this activity leads to sinus headaches the next morning. I expect this will go away when I finish treatment. I desperately want to play more.


Speaking of treatment,, I go for my last infusions this next Monday and Thursday. As usual not looking forward to the effects but as this is the last for awhile (?) I can do it.

I still have residual neuropathy, so clearly two weeks of no-tx is not long enough to see whether that condition will abate with a longer period of time away from formal chemo. And my hair is trying to grow back. My scalp gets fuzzy after a week or so, and I have been shaving it to keep it looking cleaner. That activity will stop after next week!

I will also try this week to see AbJ about the next phase. To reiterate, I believe I get re-scanned at 6 months and also get some chemo boosters--like once a week for three weeks. But I don't know how much that will make me sick again or otherwise interfere with life its ownself.
