The life of treatments
I am back into the swing of going in for treatments every other Friday and then spending the next two weeks trying as hard as I can to get back to a healthy enough state to do it all again. The last two weeks have been rough. My lab results on my blood were not good at all this last time around. My liver is struggling to keep up. A lot of pain has gone away, but I still sting from it, and I think when I take too much pain killers, the liver can't handle it, thus, making me quite ill. The CEA count, which measures the amount of cancer active in my system is fricken off the charts at 97. OUCH!!! That is the worst it has been since this all began, so I guess I am thinking the break over the summer wasn't the most brilliant move on my behalf. I was warned, but I am stubborn. I'll be honest with you. I feel that things are not turning for the better. OH FUCKING WELL!!! I am still getting quite a kick out of life and feel very lucky to have had this much. I look back on my friends and experiences with such fondness. I mean that. All of my history is cherrished. What a cool life I've had. And now, well now, I have what I always dreamed for.
Go dodgers!

J, don''t give up Hope! You sound like you are. You beat it down once and you can do it again!
If you are around this weekend or next week you have some free time, let's meet up for a while and catch up and have some good conversation over coffee in the overcast cool morning air
Jason,
I'm with Will. Having a CEA surge now might not mean much. Keep your chin up.

Jason, dont ever feel as though you are being defeated by the cancer. What a stupid word...cancer. Can-ser. Can-What? Ser-who? Anyhow, we are all absorbing you. I am absorbing you. Your light is not diminishing, it is spreading. You have tought me a great deal about life and words. Keeping living, writing, signing and fighting.
I meant taught not tought. Maybe you could teach me about spelling now?
J,
It sounds like this thing is throwing everything it's got at you. It's scared of you, man. Your determination, your spirit, your courage. And you are surrounded by a great community of love and support.
Out here in the country our lives, hearts and spirits are with you.
