Well, apparently there are one or two people that read this thing and every so often they bug me to blog... so I will give some updates about how tings been runnin' lately.
It is now Friday afternoon. Mom and I just returned from Whole Foods and treatment. I thought the day was going well until I very violently threw up everything in my stomach. It was no fun at all. Keep thinking I am getting used to that, and I am not. Still not as bad as the day last week when the docs put me on the Fentanyl patch. It was 50mcg/per hour and way too much for my sensitive system to handle. Threw up 8 times that day trying to get it out of my system. It was pure hell. Seems like there have been those days lately, hence my not blogging. My body is creating so much phlegm and mucus that I don't what to do with it. I wake up around every 20 minutes gagging on it and it's all over the place. Real fun I'm telling you! I'm just glad my body is making saliva and that all the suffering with the Ethyol looks like it paid off.
I have only 4 more radiation treatments to go next week and then I will be on to some serious healing. I may have two additional chemos, I am praying that maybe I won't need them.
I want to thank every person who has helped see me through this. Especially my family, for putting up with me and also Anne. Also, the people who came out to the benefits and pitched in, the bands & DJs who played and also Ruta Maya & Flamingo.
All for now, gotta go lay down and see what's on the tele.

Thank you for the update, RJ. Your symptoms sound miserable, and we're praying that you'll be beyond that very quickly now. Hope to see you soon - wrap up the radiation so you can start skanking at these shows coming to town!

3 more radiation treatments to go!!!! I couldn't be more proud of you and all the hell you've gone through these past few months. We are gonna have one heck of a party when all this is behind us.
LOVE YOU!
