Well, here I am again w/another update. So I’m a week late….I am entitled to some type of failure that is to be excused at times.

Nancy’s numbers did a little more of a drop. I suppose she seemed upbeat about that. As long as they continue to decline that’s a good thing! Didn’t see Keefer but saw this chick doctor and this was my first time to see her w/Nancy….that sounds sorta different since I’ve neva seen her even w/o Nancy. I am merely a spectator…its Nancy’s version of competition as opposed to my type of competition.

Of course if you were to reference this type of activity as competitive she would be a gold medal recipient and w/many plaques’ to go along w/that as well. She would be a top performer and a true standout! I still have no clue as to how she puts this altogether every single day….the constant fatigue…..the constant…..now knowing…the constant, constant that is always constant. I still have this to add that this chemo pill (oral chemo therapy- etopiside) has had the least side effects of any of the other lethals that have been intravenously given over this past 6.3yrs.

She has an upset stomach quite often. Has certain reaction to certain types of food. Doesn’t care much for red meat and prefers chicken. Eats a ton of cottage cheese….tons….well…a whole helluva lot! Then there is this ongoing issue w/her right arm….this is the most prevalent issue as far as physical aspects of the side effects. I don’t think that this is ever going to get better and I do hope that it does not escalate any more than what appears to be at this point. It really is a drag!! At times if not all the time holding a pencil is a task let alone write. Imagine not being able to take the lid off a bottle of water or pop off the top of a Tupperware dish. Think about the smallest of chores that we all do every day that we take for granted. I wished this would go away! I stated before and I’ll state again….I’m an Ironman...but Nancy is the true Ironman of the family!! My race was started and finished…Nancy is still competing at hers.

So, I’ll end this conversation for the evening.

Remember, it really is All About Nancy!

As always…mucho love!
Roger

p.s. I’ve got another music list…it’s really big….I’ll post it later...I always have the best music!!
