Hey mate. Just wanted to say I have found your postings pretty inspirational. Goodluck for 2023 and keep up the positive spirit.Thank you so much, brother. Not out of the woods yet, but at least there's hope. Some positivity and belief is helpful to the process.
Had Chemo on Wednesday, so fairly knocked about. Each dose is hitting me faster, harder and lasting longer. Can't taste food at the moment, but that should wear off in the next few days. I see my haematologist on Friday, so will get a better idea of how things are traveling. Only 4 more Chemo sessions scheduled.How you doing @Bulldog Wrestler ?

I can only imagine how hard a road it is mate just try to keep positive.Had Chemo on Wednesday, so fairly knocked about. Each dose is hitting me faster, harder and lasting longer.

Oh man, wishing you nothing but a full and speedy recovery champ. Finish line is in sight mate [emoji1690]Had Chemo on Wednesday, so fairly knocked about.

Thanks mate, doing my best. Frustrating, feeling horrible most of the time. Some of the medication mess with my mood a bit too at times, added to being generally fatigued. But, worth it for the greater good. I like your analogy - the team and I will prevail in the end.We bloody love you @Bulldog Wrestler.
Might be an #aerosexual thing .
Fight the good fight mate and you’ll emerge on the other side - just like our footy team…
You’d never know reading the #badjoke thread .Some of the medication mess with my mood a bit too at times
Beautiful words brother..and you have a beautiful heart from another beautiful family.. I’m so sorry for their loss but I’m so glad you are here so I can call you my good friend..6 years today that I got the heart.
It's bitter/sweet.... sweet that my kids have a dad but bitter that an 18 year old died for me to get it.
God rest my donors soul and bless his family.
Thank you Sensei.Beautiful words brother..and you have a beautiful heart from another beautiful family.. I’m so sorry for their loss but I’m so glad you are here so I can call you my good friend..
Well..to be honest..I think a higher power was looking after you brother.. And you are still here for a greater reason..what I’m not sure of..but definitely a greater reason..Thank you Sensei.
PS they are still researching my old heart in Canada till today. Trying to figure out how I stayed alive for 5 years when I should of been gone and stayed gone after a few days.
Overall, not too bad, thanks - except for the Chemo. It continues to get worse with each session, hitting me faster, harder and lasting longer. I've just started losing hair, which I thought I'd escape. I had gone 4-5 months without losing any, but it started a week or two ago. Not rapidly at this stage, but head, face and other areas effected. Went to the barber this morning to get it cut shorter, without going overboard just yet. Might be investing heavily in a collection of baseball caps soon -@Bulldog Wrestler .. how’s going dude?
Gee man you are a fighter..definitely a Bulldog..yep you have that Bulldog spirit in abundance.. As for hair, it’s overrated..nothing like short, or no hair, because when you get up in the morning you are readily for action..no combing/styling needed..Take care mate..I’m in your corner!Overall, not too bad, thanks - except for the Chemo.

But, I only have 5 weeks (3 sessions) of Chemo left, until the full course ends. Then, I shouldn't feel so bad, and any side-effects can start recovering. Hopefully that will be the end of the Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
The Haematologist is still worried about the Leukemia, which has got down to, but plateaued out at 3% of cells still effected. He wants it at 0.1%. Says they can't change the current treatment, until I've done 12 months of it.
I've had to start getting blood transfusions again. Hopefully that can stop after the Chemo ends, as at the moment it's killing good cells as well as bad, leaving me quite weak and fatigued.
My mate drove down from Queensland to visit me 2 days ago took my mind off to another place for a while, 3 years ago he was diagnosed with throat cancer has been all clear since, only now has some of his saliva returned but his taste came back pretty quick he looks as good as ever so you'll be right just stick it to it.Overall, not too bad, thanks - except for the Chemo.
