I was taken by surprise by that and I really didn't know what to say so I just blinked and said, "Me?" She said something about how I am facing cancer compared to the others she sees. I was beyond humbled and really couldn't say much to her other than to say thanks and I appreciated that very much. Whenever I die, I won't be made a saint, and not just because I am a Lutheran. Maybe part of my strength comes from being bullied and pushed around a lot when I was a child. Cancer is very much like a big nasty bully, too. Now I can fight back, and bullies piss me off to no end. I have had my fill of excrement sammich in this life. Now, if someone or something comes and tells me I have to take a bite, it's going to be a fight.
Wow. You are a big man.

Your courage is definitely inspiring, as is all of this travel! Keep it up!

Darn it. Sounds like there was potential.

Not much... she is about 60, I think. Late 50s for sure and married, but I still was totally not expecting the compliment she gave me.

With all the supportive messages you've received and people telling you to keep fighting, somethings been lost.

I want to thank you.

You have decided to enroll in a grueling clinical trial that can have severe side effects. Where you could just decide to say "**** it" and stop all treatment, go on your vacations and things like that and have a huge grand finale, you've instead decided to seek answers for this horrible disease that's taken so many. For that, I thank you. While it may or may not be the answer doctors are looking for, it's a variable they can either eliminate or utilize for future generations.

You are doing important work, my friend. No matter the outcome you've decided to take us one more step towards a cure.

Thank you, Ed. Keep up the good fight my man. You are an inspiration to many.
Awesome post.


Agreed, thank you so much ed.

Hey man. Older chicks need love too.
They don't tell, they don't yell, they don't smell and they're grateful as hell.

As Jason said, this is a quality post... And I agree, along with fighting like hell a thank-you is just as well deserved.

Okay, so I've started with the chemo pills. Some of the worst side effects like becoming anemic and needing a blood transfusion are not unique to the pills. My nurse practitioner told me that since my very first treatment long ago, they've monitored my blood cell counts in case I need a transfusion. Throwing up blood was also a possibility with the previous treatment, but I just don't recall reading or hearing about that. I took 4 pills last night, and 8 today (4 after breakfast and 4 after dinner) and so far, I really don't feel much different than I did before I took them. Except for a lingering stomach ache along the left side of my stomach, I can't tell that I am having any side effects at all. I am not more tired than I have been, I have no nausea at all, no chemo runs (yet...), no sores along the sides of my tongue, and so on.

I know it is early on, and the side effects can strike at any time, so I am not ready to hop around in joy and say, "No side effects!" But, on the other hand, so far, so good. My body does not feel tired out, either, so I might just lift some weights tonight and try to get toned up and stronger for my trip.

I should have added this to the previous post. My chemo pill schedule is going to work out in my favor big time. I am to take them Monday to Friday, weekend off, Monday to Friday, weekend off and then 2 weeks off, repeat. At the end of the second cycle, it will be two weeks off of the pills on the day I leave for Denmark, so if any side effects do show up, they should be well out of my system that day. So that means I should be feeling good and strong the day I leave and I won't have to worry about getting the runs on the plane!
