Yesterday completed the 3rd day of my 3rd round of chemo. Woo-freakin'-hoo! The chemo side effects are noticeably cumulative. Post-cisplatin was the worst I've felt of all the rounds. The nausea is overwhelming, even with the medication from my doc and the medical marijuana. I have a follow-up with the doc tomorrow, so I will … Continue reading Halfway Done & Coming Clean

My hair has never been something that has defined me. One thing I'd like to think defines me is my desire for fun … Continue reading Party Time
