11/8 Midday Update

I just returned from my chemo treatment and I'm feeling wiped. I think it's mostly due to the Benadryl. I can barely hold my eyes open.

Apparent everyone reacts to the Benadryl differently. Some people become wired and others become sleepy - like me.

I picked up some more data. One of the nurses said that cancer can evolve like a virus or bacteria. If that happens they need to change the chemo treatment as the current one will no longer be effective.

It takes a big bomb to blow the enemy to kindgom come. It sounds like you felt that bomb today and hopefully the cells also got a deserving dose of it.
We have started reading " The Patient from Hell"
It sounds to be a very interesting read. The author had an Iron will to beat his disease into oblivion and he won.

It gives a vivid insight into what he went through to rid his body of cancer.
It's an inspiring read of courage.

I think Schneider's book is excellent. I'm pleased you referred him to me.

I would think from where I am sitting, being sleepy rather than wired after treatment may be an asset?
