Happy Monday! I hope all of you had a great weekend! It has been very hot here this weekend, but we have the air conditioners in the windows, so it is nice and cool in the house. Yesterday (Sunday) my father, my brother, and I went to the local horse track, as they were having an event with a lot of food trucks present, so I got to eat some tasty food (Fried cheese curds and a hot dog with cheese sauce, yum!) and (of course) bet on some horses. I was tired after two races, so we left after the fourth race of the day. However, during the fourth race, I placed a bet of $5 on #5, and #5 won (yay!) and I won $44.50! Yay!

Talk to you on Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday! Not much has happened recently, but Saturday, May 28th, marks one year since starting chemo. 52 weeks of methotrexate. It’s been a long road, but at least my side effects are lessened and I am able to take the pills with ease (after some adjustments, of course). I hope all of you have had a better last 12 months than I and I will talk to all of you on Monday. Have a good weekend!

Happy Monday! I hope all of you had an excellent weekend. Friday went like the new normal, which I am very pleased with. Didn’t do anything this weekend – though my mom and brother (and aunts and uncles) helped my grandmother with some spring cleaning, I stayed at home with my dad, as I would not be any help with that. I hope all of you had a great weekend and I will talk to all of you on Wednesday!

One year since being diagnosed

Happy Wednesday! It’s been a year since I was diagnosed. It has been a long year. I hope all of you have had a good day, and a better previous 12 months than I have. Today was good – went to the local oncologist, levels are similar to last time, so nothing bad, which is nice. Hopefully all of you have a good weekend. I will talk to you on Monday!

One year of the blog – or Monday, May 16th

Happy Monday! So, it’s been a year of this blog. It started May 13th, 2015. A lot has happened this past year – some good, some bad, and some annoying. I hope all of you had a great weekend. This weekend, I didn’t do much. Friday, I had much less in the way of side effects, didn’t even need a nap – still needed the medical marijuana due to nausea, though. I will talk to all of you on Wednesday, which is the one year anniversary of my diagnosis.

Happy Wednesday! I hope you had a good Tuesday! On Tuesday, I had my brother go to the local chocolate shop because chocolate is delicious – and, well, I wanted to have some chocolate. Other than that, nothing has really happened in my corner of the world. Have a good weekend and talk to you on Monday!

Happy Monday! So, I had a good weekend. Didn’t do anything on Saturday and yesterday, my dad, my brother, and I went to the movies to see Captain America: Civil War – it was a very good movie. Saw some previews beforehand, the only memorable one is Doctor Strange, which looks like it will be a good movie. We also took my mom out to a local restaurant for Mother’s Day and the food was excellent. I had Chicken and Waffles with an andouille cream gravy – it was very good. My mom had a steak. For dessert, I had a Salty Pretzel Chocolate Caramel Tart and my mom had a Creamsicle Sundae (which had a Blood Orange Sorbet and a Vanilla Gelato).

Just noticed that this post didn’t post last night when I told it too. Oops.

Happy Wednesday! So, I ha the local oncologist today and he liked my numbers – he talked to the oncologist down in Virginia, who told him he wants to lower my dose of the meds I take on Thursday. Tomorrow I am going to call the NYC oncologist and go from there. Hopefully a lower dose will help with the side effects. This weekend is Mother’s Day – so to all of the mothers out there, have a good day (and weekend)!

Happy Monday! I hope all of you are well! Thursday and Friday were the new normal, which I am happy with. Didn’t do anything of note this weekend, my mom is still feeling sick, however, but she is getting better. Yay!

Wednesday, I see the local oncologist, so I will have an update them, hopefully I am stable with my numbers.
