Update

Sorry for the delay since the last post. Things are busy and I am feeling pretty good. I am still experiencing some side affects and expect to have them linger for the next few months. The taste of food is still not normal, my hair is just starting to think about returning and the tips of my fingers still tingle. There are other things and they are pretty minor. Even with food's lack of taste, I am hungry all the time. Although I am eating normal meals, I am eating whenever I can between the meals and it still does not seem like enough. The other thing I cant get enough of is sleep. I have never been a good sleeper and over the past couple of weeks, I've had nights when I've gone to sleep at 7pm and woke the next day just before 6am. I am sure these 2 things will slow down as things continue to get back to normal.

I go a week from Friday for a blood test and have my first "after cancer" treatment with Reznick on the following Monday. It's been pretty nice not going to his office and not getting poked everyday.

I know I've said I will get some photos on here and I will do my best to upload them this weekend.

Obviously, my time on the blog is slowing down. I hope to write once a week to update everyone on the rest of the recovery and our family. At some point soon, I will start skating and getting ready for the 24 hours of hockey charity event and then I will start to ask everyone for donations for the Childrens hospital. The event is in May and I hope to raise a couple thousand bucks for the hospital. I will keep everyone posted and remember, it's a tax writeoff!!!


Talk to you soon.

Sam,

I am happy to see you posting again. I was really missing knowing what was going on when I know how busy all of you are readjusting to regular life again.
What did you mean Treatments with Resnick? I thought all treatment was complete.
I am thinking of you always and am so very greatful for your renewed health.
All my love,
Heather

Glad to hear you are feeling better and getting back to normal, at least as much as possible. Just remember sleep is good, it rejuvenates the body.
Love to you Jen and the kids.
Elaine & David
