Plans Set
I met with the oncologist today and we established August 31st as the date to start chemotherapy. This gives me three more weeks to heal and hopefully enjoy some time of strong health. If all goes according to plan I'll have my final infusion on November 9th. The oncologist (and my sister) said that I should respond just as positively to the chemo this second time around as the first, though it is quite possible that the side effects will be stronger as I won't be quite as strong going into the chemo as I was originally, but we'll see.

A difficult journey to be sure Jim. Know that your family & friends are here for you. I'll be available to accompany you to chemo sessions if you need someone. I'll even wear my honey badger T-shirt.

Jim,
ReplyDeleteLet me know if there is anything that I can do as well. You have your family and friends behind you.
God bless and trust in Him

You are brave and I admire your courage. You are strong and I admire your strength. This is a longer road than any would want to walk; and a harder road than any could imagine. Be strong dear brother. Be brave dear brother.
ReplyDeleteI love you

There are honey badger T-shirts?!
ReplyDeleteIndeed there are T-shirts! For those who don't know, Luisa and I adopted the Honey Badger as our "mascot" during the dark days soon after my diagnosis. It originates from a funny video on YouTube:

And here are numerous shirt options (I need to get one myself):
