Health update

This is way overdue but it is all good news. A couple weeks back I got the results of my scans and bloodwork. The tumor and lesions are all shrinking and my bloodwork is looking really good. 

I am having very little side effects from the chemo. I actually feel really good. There are some minor issues such as having a metallic taste in my mouth after the chemo, which is probably the worst thing because food taste weird and water taste really bad. It does not stop me from eating and drinking however. In fact, I have gained about 10 pounds, which is most of the weight I lost at the beginning of all this. 

I also have a bit of chemo brain. I tend to forget little things. I forget who I had conversations with sometimes after talking to several people in a row even though I remember the conversation. At least for the most part. I go to the store and forget what I needed. Mostly, I go blank for a word or name when I am talking. So pretty much the same thing everybody does on occasion, just more often. 

My energy level is good and I am back to pretty much living life as normal. I do make myself rest as I understand that just because I feel well I am still fighting off this disease. 

I have been doing a lot of spiritual work which I will write about in my next post. 

I have done 3 rounds of chemo and the doctor has scheduled me for 3 more since I am responding so well. My next treatment is next Tuesday and hopefully I will continue having positive results. All of your good thoughts and energy must be working so keep up the good work.
