I threw out all my peanut butter cookies. I am starting to get FAT! It’s a good problem to have considering my condition but still … (I had already eaten a bunch of the cookies – which may have created this problem – so it was not a total waste). I’m feeling good – workingContinue reading “December 21, 2020”

I’m in the emergency room. I have a urinary tract infection. Maybe because of the stent in my ureter? Need antibiotics. Doctor just came in and he said the stent makes me susceptible to UTIs. I woke up in the middle of the night and knew I had to get to the hospital. Will beContinue reading “December 19, 2020”

Good morning! I’m starting my mornings early these days. I’ve been feeling good for the past few days – waking up around 4-4:30 a.m. – not tired at all – and starting my project by 5:00 a.m. Then I work until 6:00 p.m. when I call it quits for the day. I don’t talk aboutContinue reading “December 17, 2020”

Good morning! I just had a delicious cup of coffee – Allegro Mocha Java – oh my god so good. I made cornbread yesterday and had a square with the coffee. I’ve also gotten back into eating dried figs – packed with minerals. I used to eat them all the time – would also makeContinue reading “December 14, 2020”

Front page New York Times – someone else dropped dead of colon cancer – 53 years old – an actress. Terrible. I never used to read the obituaries but I do now because if it isn’t old, old age, it’s cancer and very, very often colon cancer. And I woke up so happy this morningContinue reading “December 8, 2020”

Hello! I go back for chemo in two days. Hope it will be my last time! I think they’re going to put me on a breast cancer drug after the chemo – it’s not intended for colon cancer but it specifically combats the kind of genetically super-aggressive cancer that I have. Lucky me!!! I amContinue reading “December 7, 2020”

I just got out of the shower and more of my hair is coming out. It’s not supposed to fall out on this drug – it’s just supposed to thin out – which it has been doing. When does thinning become falling? It’s scary to watch it come out. But it’s just hair, it’s justContinue reading “December 4, 2020”

I have been sick in bed from the chemo for a solid week. Last night – for five hours – I had a very tough time with bowel issues – very sick. This colostomy is no joke – it’s not just about things coming out a different end – it’s a whole different ballgame. ThisContinue reading “December 3, 2020”
