I have a 4500 acre park (Shelby Farms, one of the biggest urban parks in the country, 5 times bigger than Central Park in NYC) with bike trails galore that's a 5 minute bike ride away from me.
We had this saying while i was on vacation "say YES to life", wake up at 4am to watch the sunrise? Yes! Go crabbing with flashlights at 10pm? YES! Learn to play cribbage? Yes! I'm still operating on that plane. It adds a lot of fun to the day.
If it meant I could have my office in space somewhere then I'd take the job in a second. I could use a break from this rock.
Sure did
Did a Lot better this round. We decided to do the Avastin for 90 minutes and lowered the Oxi to 90 or 80 %. Can't remember which.
Avastin has the tendency to raise the blood pressure but Oxi can mess with things too. Playing with both helped in that I had no 'incidences ' today.
Still came down with the usual side effects. My mantra: Only temporary.
Hair.... I definitely think it is thinning. I feel I am shedding more than usual. You can't tell because I have so much of it.
A little here, a little more there... none on my pillow though. Just when I'm messing with it.
If it gets to where I no longer have 'poofy' hair, then I would appreciate the thinning to stop.
Next chemo will be a breeze! Only getting Avastin and just one 'push' of 5FU. No Oxi and no pump! I should be totally fine for my trip the next day. Will also be a very Short day at the oncologist.
Second PET scan is scheduled for the day after we get back. I'm nervous and excited at the same time.
I'm choising to only think positive thoughts: There will be shrinkage, there Will be shrinkage! At least being with the family will help take my mind off it.
I used to have some videos but it's just fancy hula hooping
it's fun and very meditative for me.
That's like a foreign language to learn isn't it? Great healthy attitude. Hope your side effects are short lived! Sounds like a relatively good session.Sure did
