Ow! Its been a month gone by and I haven't updated. Oops. Well the last big update I had on my other blog is that they have taken me off of infused chemotherapy. Instead now they are trying a pill on me called Tarceva. Its a very expensive pill ($4500.00 per pill), it is said to be great for controlling cancer cells. It does however have some nasty side effects, worst of which for me has been an acne like rash. I hate rashes, I would rather take a shot in the foot than have a rash. So right now because the rash has gotten so bad for me I have had to stop taking the pill for 7 days to give my body a chance to recover. Plus I am also taking a couple more meds to counter the rash. Wednesday will be the day I call the Dr. back to find out where we go from here.
Overall I feel good, I have been able to do some light work around my property. My lungs are definitely stronger than 6 months ago. I have even started bugging my boss about letting me return to work. (Doubtful that will happen). On BFAC (Blogforacure.com) there has been alot of ranting about this "pink" breast cancer awareness month. How they seem to have commercialized it and taken the real meaning away from it. Also some serious talk about how our wonderful FDA (Fuddy Duddys Association) has prevented, stepped in the way of, and screwed up some real steps toward better drugs for cancer. If someone is reading this please go check it out. Anyway, I got a new laptop, kind of a beefy one a Toshiba Qosmio, I love it ( it weighs a ton) but it keeps me in great shape lol. I am currently trying to find a wheel carry on type bag that can hold it. Well enough ranting for one post, take care blog I'll be back =0
