To my Family and Friends on CVO Forum.
I spoke to GH via phone a few days ago. We both must be suffering with cabin fever. LOL We talked for what must have been at least 4 hours. At one point we hung up, but then I remembered someting I wanted to say so I called him back just to tell him. Sue wasn't feeling very good. I don't remember if GH and I talked before, during or after Sue had her IV Infussion for her MS Flare-up. But She is still sick, in fact even sicker than then. She has been in bed for two full days now. She must be getting sick of my cooking, popcorn, chips, milk and cookies, toast or take out from the local Pizza shop. I was feeling pretty good last weekend and having a whole extra week to rest up and be ready for chemo sounded good to me, although, I don't feel all rested up. I made it to my newest birthday (Jan. 08), since I found that I had terminal cancer stage 4b I really didn't think I make it this far. The most resent guesstimate from a Dotor was 6 months, that was given to me in March of 2010. But Nov has come and gone and I'm still here. I go in this coming Mon, Tue and Wed for chemo. I am hopeing and praying that my blood levels will pass so I can get on with it. Don't get me wrong, I have yet been able to fine one thing that's enjoyible about chemo. Well, there is one exception, and that's the support that the other chemo jockey's give and recieve. Believe it or nor thare is a Retired Navy Admiral that has Cancer and Parkinson's Decease. He gets chemo five days a week every 3 weeks. To top it off he's 81 years old. I have the honor of sitting next to him when we're there togeter. We share stories back in forth. He's really a nice guy. What blows my mind is why isn't he at Bethesda Hopital down near Washington DC.
I'll write again and let you'll know if my blood was good enought to start the chemo. I can't wait for the spring break out ride, and I have a plan in the works to bring Panthers Bike down to him in Florida. If I have it right, there's a group down there that will set up a sidecar to be a reciever for his eletric chair and his sister Girt will take him for rides. If it fall into place I'll probably put his bike in the back of my truck and tow my bike my the trailer so Sue and I can put a few sunny miles on while we are dow there. That a big on to chew, but I have between now and the middle of Feb. That's when I will be getting my last round of chemo for this cycle. (I HOPE)
I hope this fits or I'll have to do a two-fer
I hope all is well will all of you
your brother Sam
