Plowing Ahead

I have not posted in a while, not much has changed in tumor land. The Ativan is still doing a decent job at keeping the chronic headaches at bay, but I can tell my body is starting to develop a tolerance to it. Luckily, as I had hoped, The Tramadol I used for headaches a year ago and developed a tolerance to it, is now effective. I have the quarterly MRI this month, not expecting any changes. I still have flashbacks to the state when I was in radiation and chemo treatment. Its a overwhelming feeling of exhaustion and nausea that lasts for about a week. These 'attacks' come on once every three months. I do not know what brings these on and have nothing to fight it except sleep. Where I normally get 8 hrs sleep per night, when these flashbacks happen I will be in bed for two days.

I am still working full time as a engineer. My logic skills are sill sharp as a tack.
This spring I volunteered as an assistant coach on my 14yr old's baseball team. For those of you that know me personally, you can get up from the floor. We know that I never played a game of baseball in my life. I told the coach that, but there were not enough volunteers. We have 2-3 games through the week and practice both Saturday and Sunday. This is a lot of exercise getting the boys warmed up and running drills with them. Combined with work, this takes ALL of my energy. I regret that my garage band has not played in a while - sorry guys.

So I keeping up the fight, plowing through life in the face of my tumor.
