Today is a nice day, but still a little chilly. My hands and feet are fine except when I flex them, they feel a little “stiff” with minor numbness. Jujuball called for some tennis. I was debating if I should go because it’s kinda cold, but at the end I decided to go hit a [...]

My chemotherapy consists of 4 drugs (now 3 drugs starting chemo #12). While at the hospital, I am injected with 3 of the 4 drugs – Avastin, Leucovorin and Oxaliplatin. The process will take about 3 hours. After that, I am attached with this bottle (see pix below) and a ballon-like container inside of it [...]
