I'm not fatalistic by any means, but this is some pretty nasty stuff.

We'll just do what the docs say and see what they come up with to help pump the brakes on this shit, but, to be honest, I'm pretty much a walking organ donor at this point. Actually, I'm not even sure that they can use my organs due to the cancer deal. Might have to ask the doc what the deal is with that. That would be tragic if I couldn't donate as most of my organs seem to be in pretty good shape.
I have wondered the same and also about donating blood. I hate needles, so I won't volunteer, but I am curious if my cancer and the chemo in particular makes it so my blood is no good for anyone else or even dangerous.

im not in your shoes, but recently my mom helped me go through her death from cancer.
you are not even close to my mom, quite possible you are the wrong sex. she got it, you got it, and ill bitch bitch at you. do you got someone better closer?

This is a semi-educated guess, but I don't believe the chemo should affect your ability to donate blood in reality (there probably isn't a real medical risk to the recipient, given your diagnosis), but I don't believe that you can donate blood while being actively treated, and there are additional restrictions depending on the type of malignancy (for example, you have to be clear much longer if you had leukemia).

The chemo you are on wouldn't affect your blood, but you don't want to donate because I'd bet you're likely to become anemic, as all of your fastest-growing cells are having a methyl group stuck on one of the four DNA bases, which effectively stops them in their tracks, meaning that your marrow is likely to take a pounding (along with the cancer, and, sadly, your balls).

How big's your penis? If it's more than 6" I've got dibs. I need all the help I can get.

Oh, yeah, and the obligatory "cancer sucks". My dad keeps dodging it with radiation but it got my mom this past April, and I've lost many a relative to it.

Good radiation today!

No weird sensations, but got a nose full of the acrid, smoke smell.

Nothing like getting a whiff of your own brain cooking.

Awesome shit.
Wow, hang in there man. Not sure how I have missed this thread before but prayers and good thoughts coming your way!

WOW Thoughts and prayers dude.

Head is starting to become "chaffed" from the radiation. Hot spots that I am beginning to notice. They don't nuke on the weekends, so I'll have two days off from that shit after tomorrow mornings session. (Which isn't all that bad - about three minutes under the Beam Master SLX on days they aren't taking images.)

However, my foot is now kinda messed up. I think I pulled/stretched a ligament in my left one long boarding tonight. Been practicing over in the church parking lot after work to get the feel of the board back underneath me, which is feeling good other than when my push/left foot kinda went "doink!" tonight. Have ice on it now. Hopefully it isn't too bad. A little sick of doctors poking at me at this point.

Board pics!

Well shit...CP is not uploading the pics from my computer. Anyone?

Be sure to take Aloe Vera pills to protect your stomach and innards. I know there isn't "solid science" behind it but everyone I've known to have radiation therapy say they help.

And they're cheap on Amazon, too. Good luck!

Can you lotion the dome or will it jack up the nuclear attack?

Aloe Vera lotion is the best remedy for radiation burns to date, as far as I know.

The nurse said that a good quality lotion with no perfumes or dyes is just fine - in fact, she recommended that I use something once it starts becoming irritated - just apply it several hours before the nuking at least so that you don't have a vaseline slick up there when they hit you with the nukes.

However, because I love burning myself all the time and know how good it feels on regular burns, I think I'll go with Dane's suggestion of an aloe vera type deal. Sounds acceptable.
