Coming Back

The treatments are behind me, but it took me many weeks to get here, and it will likely take weeks to return to complete health. I am still feeling pretty sick and have a lot of pain - maybe more than while I was being treated! It seems like I will simply get worse before I get better! I don't really understand it, but this is how it feels.

I was hoping that I would have a speedy recovery, and that once the treatments were finished, I would recover quickly. After all, I'm a pretty healthy guy overall.

I finished the Chemo treatments almost 2 1/2 weeks ago, and Thursday was my last Radiation Zap. The last two weeks of my radiation were double, that is, I got treated twice daily. My bet is, that this double-time regimen would be unbearable for more than a short period, and is why I am paying such a high price after the fact.

I'd like to be able to report better things to everyone here, but for now, this is what is happening, unsweetened, in my world. I'll hope to bring better news soon! The good news is that I have plenty of time to catch up on my emails, shipping of TrikeBuggies and just overall relaxing with Lee Anne and the Wheaters (Whippet Heaters)!

Thanks for all the encouragement and positive thoughts, I really appreciate it!!
