I have been blogging less and less because frankly the news is all good. My blood sugars are down to normal. I have been active and healthy. So, blogging about good news is boring.

I just started what may well be my last cycle of chemo yesterday. It is kicking my butt. Xaloda is a very dangerous chemical that takes a toll on the body. It takes my energy, my ability to concentrate and possibly several other aspects of my life down to a bare minimum. With luck I will be done with it soon, as well as the Thursday assault on my health called the infusion.

The plan from here is to complete this cycle and evaluate with a CT scan. My doctor and I agree that my progress as indicated by weight, blood sugar levels and so on are very positive. We will review the CT scan to be taken in two weeks and will probably adapt a schedule that will leave chemotherapy off the plan for at least several weeks, maybe more. I look forward to getting my strength and energy back on a long term basis as well as my hair.

Now a question I thought I would not be able to ask "What do I do now?" I have to actually start behaving like an adult human and go live a responsible life, and get a job or something. No more laying around feeling all sick and being lazy. Oh bother!

I read some employment ads today. I am not qualified for much of anything. At least nothing I would seriously consider. This is going to get difficult. But at least I am here to stand up to the challenge.
