Suprise Party!
>Wow. I had no idea this was going to happen at all. I was hanging out with my old high school friends, driving all over the city and we were going to end up at the Bull & Finch, one of our old watering holes. When I walked in there was my family, co-workers, friends from school and friends from rowing. Lots of people I hadn’t seen in a long time. It was just incredible. My girlfriend and one of my friends did most of…
Happy Holidays!
>I hope everybody had a great Christmas! Ours was really nice and I’m feeling great. That’s important because there has been lots of turkey to eat around here.

My Dad took my picture yesterday at chemo:

I’m about to head in for my 7th treatment, my last one of the year! I just…
Halfway Done!
>I have now finished number 6! They are definitely getting worse. I get this horrible taste in my mouth during the treatment and it hasn’t really gone away. The nausea has been about average this time, but I’m getting very tired. Thursday I got up at 1:30pm and was back in bed by about 4pm. That would be an ideal day for me if I didn’t have to do anything else! I have one more treatment this year and then it’s Christmas and Dave/Laura’s wedding…
