Thanks, Bwana. The bitch of it all is that this is not a side effect of avastin they have seen before. I am getting tired of being "special." I probably can't even sue the drug company over it, either.

Just think of it as natures way of slowly turning you into an augmented cyborg.
You'll be throwing cars and coke machines at anyone who displeases you before you know it. Seriously though, keep kicking ass. Rooting for ya. |

What a rough go I have had since my last two treatments. I've been up a lot of the night with severe gas and bloating, and it's hurting, so it's not even any fun. I've been burping as well as blasting from the other end. My burps are not any fun, either, since it's just a rush of air and it smells a lot like I ate a saddle. I am certain, however, that I had no leather for dinner last night. Oh, and my hip is starting to ache, too, so maybe it's the necrosis getting worse. I am not loving this.
I have to meet my insurance agent today and talk about Medicare. I am eligible for A and B starting January 1st. I never thought I'd beat my brother to that since he is 12 years older than me. |

Sorry to hear that, Ed. I do hope things go well with the insurance people. Have a blessed day, friend.

The hip feels better, so maybe it was just a cramp in there.

I was diagnosed with vascular necrosis in my hip several years ago. I have pain from time to time, but hip replacement is still a long way off AFAICT. I obviously don't know the details of your situation, but I doubt you have a near term problem there. But knowing it's there makes you conscious of every little twinge.

Things went well today and I had a good deal of energy. I made a big dinner for family and a friend, which included me making a batch of cooked red cabbage today, and a nice dessert, Danish apple crumb cake. I mowed a few acres between the house and barn, too. I am tired now, but not wiped out. Monday is treatment day, so this energy I am enjoying now will soon be squished like a bug for several days or a week, and only time will tell how long it goes on. |

Man, my stomach won't stop churning either. Sounds like a road crew in there. Had some serious pain the other day, thought it might be a heart attack, went up and had some baby aspirin and went back to bed hoping that if it was, it was going to kill me quick. Hang in there my Viking brother. At least you've got me sharing this shit with you. |

You hang in there, too, and baffle those docs when you go past what they said you have left. My hurdle is next August. If I am alive past then, I am really going to rub their noses in it. Of course, that could jinx me into dying on September 1st. Gah, what a thought... dying during preseason football! The horror! |
