As I sit here and think of the things that I am thankful for, I came up with this list.
1.) For the Love of Family and Friends.
2.) Surviving Stage IV Rectal Cancer.
3.) Being able to find Clinical Trials that are Close to me.
4.) Working Daily at a Job that I find enjoyable at times.
5.) For those who gave their lives so we can enjoy Freedom.
Things have been good this week, still having minor urinary control problems; which seems to be more of a problem at night when I start to reach REM Status. This I will address on Monday when I go back to Karmanos for the work up on the 3rd Trial. I have also been thinking about Life cycles Ending and new Cycles starting. I sent an email to Dr. Heath about this, but as of this posting she has not responded, so this too shall be addressed.
Medically, this week has been filled with no visits to Dr. Steve or the Emergency Room. I have been coughing a little more with the feeling that there is something there to come up, but nothing does; except this morning I spit up some green phlegm, I wasn't surprised. I have a wheezing feeling in my right lung when I breath just right, so I know something is happening. The headaches are still present, some days a little more intense then others, but taking a couple of Tyonel helps for a little bit. Otherwise no other changes have happened medically.
Musically, I have found myself getting into organizing my collection of MP3's and Flac music that I have been collecting for quite a while, last time I counted I had about 63 years of music in my collection. It ranges from Dave Brubeck to Moby to Bob Marley, Metallica and bunch more artists. The Genres I cover are just about all of them, reggae, rock, folk, big band, new age and every one in between.
Well, I'll be ending this here. Enough about my giving thanks. I hope that yours has been safe and joyous.
This is a Life Blog and how Cancer has changed my personal outlook and daily life.
