Movie Quest

-
 The 2021 quest to see as many academy award possibilities is going to be my next goal to push me through the next few weeks.   Only so many episodes of little house on the prairie can be watched before you start to go a little crazy.  Although I learned that the Up network has a mission of being uplifting.  This is where Little House and now watching Gilmore Girls with Kate started.   It’s definitely better to watch these shows than the rabbit holes I fall into.   Today’s included the movie Clouds.  On disney plus.  A real tear jerker.  Not sure you should be allowed to watch movies about teens with terminal cancer  while your head is bald from chemo but sometimes you can’t avoid it.  I’ve already seen a few about  moms and cancer but this was deeper. Especially where  Nora had sung the song Clouds in her 8th grade talent show   I do recommend however. It had a very positive theme about how life is short so make it s...

  October 19 2021 It’s been over a year since the adventure with cancer began. And I’m in for my visit. It’s been 9 months since my last radiation.    And while I have definitely been improving.    It is certain that no treatment comes without a price.     I have neuropathy in my feet.    Raynaud like fingers.    Left shoulder and right hip pain and worst of all is the trouble swallowing.    Some foods just don’t want to go down    But everything comes with a price and I would take those things over dying of cancer.  While looking for a place to document in notes I found the eulogy I wrote a year ago to save my family from writing one.    I am so grateful we did not need to use it. So unbelievably grateful.   I haven’t felt well this past week and had a few days of fevers but my COVID negative test helped me to rally for my appointment with Dr Worth.    Psyching myself up f...

 Went Monday to have my head Hennaed by Mona Bhatt. She did a nice job. I wish it was a little darker but do like the way it changes my bald head and almost looks like hair.  Patrick came with me and provided advice along the way.  We have a hidden turtle, butterfly and dragon fly.   Went today to have a CT and find out how I responded to the first two rounds of chemo    Alas they only did the CT of my chest and did not do the head and neck which defeated the purpose of the CT.  What a waste of radiation and contrast   It didn’t give me any helpful information.   After that CT I went to radiology oncology in the basement of the COX building   They made a mold of my upper body and shoulders to hold me still during radiation  looks like I start November 23rd
