A Reason For Hope…Part II

I warned you I was new at posting blogs.

My intent with posting the graph on the previous post was to include the entire fundraising letter from the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation.  But, when I was writing the original blog it kept coming out  blurry so I reduced it to just the graph.  Once I posted it I went to the actual posted blog and realized if you click on a picture or attachment it will launch and allow you to zoom in or enlarge the print.

So, for those of you interested here is the letter in it’s entirety:

This foundation has done wonders for research and progress for those affected by Mesothelioma.  Diane believes that every time a patient is diagnosed with this cancer anywhere it should be mandatory that doctors refer the patient to the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation.  They will get that family on the right track from the beginning. You can see why this group adds a great deal of hope to our journey.

We like the philosophy of author Norman Cousins who is quoted, “Don’t defy the diagnosis; just defy the verdict.”

Health Update:

We just got home yesterday from my 7th treatment in Houston.  Everything went pretty much the same as the last few sessions.  About an hour into the transfusion I began to feel the restless legs, soon followed by a shiver or two and we immediately notified the nurse who paused the treatment before the rigors kicked in.  They gave me the counter active medicine and resumed the treatment in record time!  And, as has been the case recently, I felt just fine upon completion and no side affects the next day.  Today I even felt good enough to play a doubleheader with my softball team.  

God is good!

Let’s Get Back on the Horse

Well, it is now more than three weeks since the surgery.   I’ve been sort of melancholy lately and as such I’ve been remiss in keeping this blog updated.  But, I’m over my funk and it’s time to get back on track with defeating this nasty cancer. I had amazing home care to help Diane get through the last few weeks, with Rachel, Joel, Diane’s sister Barbara, and my sister, Melissa and my Mother, Willie.  We had some great family time and I feel very loved.  I’m getting stronger everyday but my incisions are still very tender to the touch.  Everybody has returned home, so Diane and I now have the house to ourselves again. During this time we have been researching clinical trials and I’m starting to get involved with the Mesothelioma Foundation.  They have lots of up to date information about trials, medicine and success stories.  Rachel and Laura Lester worked together on finding clinical trials and we have decided to travel to Houston to check out a clin...

One Day Down, Five To Go

  Today was actually sort of amazing.  Never having experienced chemotherapy before leads to plenty of anxiety of the unknown.  Nurses, doctors, and friends who’ve undergone chemotherapy are quite frank about the side affects and I understand I will battle some of those in the coming days.  But, for me, today was a great day. I feel very fortunate that I went into today not experiencing any symptoms or pain from the actual cancer itself.   Of course, that may also change in the coming weeks.  Basically, I had a 5 hour down time in a comfy recliner with my iPad, my headphones, and no one bothering me.  It’s like I’ve been practicing for this my whole life!  I truly feel blessed because the whole time we were actually killing cancer too! I quick story that I can relate this to is when I had colon cancer 16 years ago.  I also feared the thought of chemotherapy back then.  In fact, when my sister Melissa and my Mom Willie had our “family reu...

The Calm Before the Storm

  The calm before the storm….or is it No Rain, No Rainbows????  Let’s explore that on the day before my first Chemotherapy treatment. The calm is easy to describe.  As mentioned in my previous post, 4-5 days with no medical appointments, or tests is about as normal as it gets.  I’ve been somewhat inactive since the laparoscopic surgery on April 13th left me with 3 holes in the abdomen and a three inch incision in my chest where the chemo port was installed.  In that time I was lucky if I got in 2,000-3,000 steps a day.  In the photo above, you can see us playing pickleball at Cholla Park with our dear friends the Balistreri’s and the Stauss’s. That’s when I feel normal!  Now I’m approaching my minimum 10K steps a day. I also, got to see an Arizona Diamondbacks game this last weekend courtesy of my old grade school buddy, Chris Wisener (second from the right).  Steve (on the left) and Peggy Byers are in town this week and I got to invite Steve to h...
