Halfway Done

Treatment went well today and marks my halfway point in the treatment process – which is a big mental hurdle to cross.  I have begun to really dread going and the subsequent feelings of extreme fatigue and other associated symptoms.  The days of looking at treatment as a quiet few hours to myself seem like a distant memory at this point as the reality of the process has sunk in a little further…but I remain positive about everything and hungry to continue beating this disease and being able to live some semblance of a normal life in the process.

I came home from treatment and managed to sleep for the remainder of the day, that felt great and I got up and went for a walk with Kristina – always nice to get a little fresh air. 

Looking forward to this weekend and to getting in a few rounds of golf, one with my dad on Father’s Day, and getting my youngest brother home on Sunday…he’s coming in with his girlfriend for the wedding a few days early, so it will be great to get together with everyone for more than just a few hours at the wedding.  I’ll only know tomorrow how I will feel for the next few days and am hopeful that I can get in and get some much needed work done before the weekend comes and then next week will be short as we head down to Newport, RI for Mike’s wedding.

So, halfway done…it’s a big deal for me and I cannot wait to get 100% complete with the chemo process, get some time off and then prepare for the radiation, which should be much easier than chemo.

Cheers,

Gary
