A little out of sorts but seeing the rainbow

Monday, 27 February 2006 1:39 P GMT-06
Forgive me for being a little out of it the last few weeks and a little quiet.  It's been rough but things are improving.  However, as of today I still don't feel able to cope with the next round of chemo which is scheduled for Thursday.&nb

Humor me

Saturday, 25 February 2006 6:51 P GMT-06
My dad did the sweetest thing while I was in the hospital.  When he called my room he told me joke and asked me to tell him one.  Well I couldn't think of one right away so he let me off the hook and told me to have one ready for our next c

Feeling better

Friday, 24 February 2006 9:19 A GMT-06
Whoppee!  I feel much better.  Yesterday I spoke with my oncologist about how awful I've felt since my chemo a week ago and he was very sweet.  He seems sincere and sympathetic and said we can try replacing the oxaliplatin with somethi

I'm home

Wednesday, 22 February 2006 9:52 P GMT-06
They let me come home tonight as long as I promised to eat and drink.  We'll see how it goes.  I'm still not normal but am a little better than two days ago.  At least I'm home.

Anyone up for Pinch Hitting?

Hello everyone. This is Dennis. I am writing this for Lisa who is a bit out of it at this time. She just can’t seem to catch a break!

Again, I wanna stop

Sunday, 19 February 2006 3:44 P GMT-06
I really want to stop this stupid chemo stuff.  Hate the way it makes me feel and wonder if I've subjected myself to enough that I can call it quits.  I'm sleeping less today but still can't drink and eating very little.  Hate this.&nb

Chemo 5

Saturday, 18 February 2006 3:06 P GMT-06
Chemo 5 has been going a little differently.  I took this treatment in Wausau and they use different steroids and nausea meds so that may be why it's going different.  I have been sleeping since chemo started Thursday.  I'm a little mo

I missed you guys!

Wednesday, 15 February 2006 11:27 P GMT-06
Whew, what a life! We should be getting new internet back at home in the next few days. I hadn’t been online since last Thursday; I was in withdrawal. :) We met with the new oncologist last Thursday and so far I like him. I have my next chemo

Making up words

Friday, 10 February 2006 7:50 A GMT-06
 I'm waiting for Dennis while he gets his MRI so I'm trying to catch up on email and jot a little.  Crazy thing, remember how I shared the way I forget words, like I know the word, see the word in my mind but can't get it off my tongue?&nbs

More Cemeteries & next Oncologist appointment

Thursday, 9 February 2006 1:52 P GMT-06
Yesterday we finished our trek through cemeteries and I should be able to get some photos uploaded soon.  Keep your fingers crossed.  I also got a birthday present - it snowed!  Yippe.  I love the white stuff.  I snowed on an

Reminder I'm 39 NOT 40

Wednesday, 8 February 2006 2:16 A GMT-06
Hey, I appreciate the birthday wishes but lets not make me older than I am.  I am 39 today THREE, NINE, not 40.  I still have one more year to get to the big 4-0.  It's bad enought that Dennis teases me about being six months olde

Chicago Cemetery Fun

Tuesday, 7 February 2006 11:59 P GMT-06
I’m on the way back up from the tired, quiet period and having another sleepless night. As I’ve mentioned Dennis travels a lot with his job and one of his plants is near Chicago. His meeting with them was delayed a week because of his bac

The suckiest days

Monday, 6 February 2006 4:21 P GMT-06
We've hit the worst days of the chemo and I'm sure tomorrow will be better.  I keep telling myself that though.  This treatment has really hit me in the head.  I guess my month without treatments had let me regain some of my brains but

Chemo 4

Friday, 3 February 2006 9:39 A GMT-06
The rest of yesterday, Thursday, went ok. I saw the medical oncologist and he approved me to do the next round of chemo. He said my biopsies came back ok. While they still have no clear answers what's going on with my lungs they feel confident it'

Can cancer spark romance?

Friday, 3 February 2006 12:00 A GMT-06
It's funny that Dennis has always been reserved emotionally.  Don't get me wrong, I have never doubted his love and he has instigated some very romantic moments.  But he's never been a mushy man.  It is amazing the areas that canc

Seeing the radiation oncologist

Thursday, 2 February 2006 11:48 A GMT-06
It's been a fun morning so far.  After getting up at 4:00 a.m. to make our trek to Mayo we met with the radiation oncologist.  This meeting went much better than the one with our local onc.  The doctor told he was fine with me using hi
