  Post 59: Stressed and Confused.

  Post 59: Stressed and Confused. I’ll start by saying that I’m home. Great! But the meeting I’d hoped for between cardiology, oncology, and me didn’t happen. Yet. I left CCU late yesterday afternoon with new meds and a plan...

  Post 58: Not Out of the Woods.

  Post 58: Not Out of the Woods. Briefly: I’m still here in CCU, and yesterday’s palpitations took a full 17 hours to settle back into sinus rhythm. The ward is mostly quiet—except for two particularly challenging patients who are ...

  Post 57: Oops I did it again… Just a quick note to say that the SDEC assessment was good and the chemo can be resumed on Friday. But… After we left SDEC we headed for a nearby costal town to meet up with a mate and commission a bit o...

  Post 55: PSA 505. Ouch!

  Post 55: PSA 505. Ouch! What do I think when I hear my PSA is now over 500? Honestly—not much. Not while I’m in this strange medical limbo. I know it’ll keep climbing until chemo restarts, and even then, it might not come down eas...

  Post 54: Oh Happy Day.

  Post 54: Oh Happy Day. I’ll keep it short-ish and sweet. The flushes are still hot, the belly injections are routine, my appetite is huge, and my sweet tooth is threatening to rot what teeth are left—but today was a good day. I was up...
