March 12th Update

1st week of radiation and chemo done!!!  I'm glad to say that the radiation and chemo doesn't seem to be too bad.  I'm happy to have the weekend off.  No radiation til Monday :)  I'm getting pretty comfortable with the whole "mask" thing.  I had the girls show me how to unclamp it myself in case I'm in there when our 8.0 earthquake hits.  They said they would save me but I'm pretty sure they will be running for their lives if it hits so I got it handled just in case....

As far as the chemo goes, it's really mild.  It makes me feel a little funny but not too bad.  I haven't really had much nausea or anything.  It's mostly a tired and achy feeling.  It's almost like having the flu without the sinus problems and fever.

Thanks again for all the love and support.  I'll take as much as I can get!  I couldn't ask for better friends and family.  It sucks to have to go through this but at least I have a bunch of awesome, supportive people to go through it with me.  Tons of love, Brian

  2. Hey Brian, I'm glad to catch up on your blog and have a sense of what you're dealing with. Fight, man! I'm in your corner. I'm not sure if I remember how to pray, but I'm enthusiastically cheering you on!
