[Cancer]
[cancer] Chemo session one, day one
I’m into my third chemo series as of today. FOLFOX/Vectibix at the infusion center this afternoon, with a 44-hour take-home pump loaded with my old friend 5FU. Six three-day sessions biweekly through December, a break for surgery, probably in early January, then six more sessions through April or so.
Off to the hospital after a while. My parents are taking me, and Ace Jordyn is being primary caregiver this weekend.
This is so hard. On me and on everyone around me.

Thinking of you with compassion. Take care…
This, too, will pass.
Hang in there.
Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed “THE STARS DO NOT LIE”. Reminds me of Matthew Hughes’ Archonate without the wryness. I do hope that this may evolve into a full length novel and series at some point, even with different characters. It is a world I would like to visit again and again. Thanks again for a great work.
Thank you, sir.
