There is probably no better way to get over the shock and awe of being told you'll be losing your left testicle to cancer than to be told that the cancer spread to your lymphatic system and that you need to undergo three months of chemo therapy. SHOCK!!! It's funny because at this point I don't really care at all that I am half the man I used to be (Yeah STP reference!)... I mostly just want to be cured of the Cancer.
I've been on chemo therapy for 3 weeks now, sort of. My treatment plan consists of 5 days on two weeks off 4 times; I'll be done with chemo treatments by mid July. So far it hasn't been too bad, in fact it hasn't been bad at all. There have been probably three difficult days, the first day cause I think system was kind of shocked by all the drugs, then the Saturday and Sunday following the first round of treatments was kind of sucky too. I just felt really tired those two days and I'd get nauseated if I went too long with out food. I have been feeling completely fine otherwise. So good that a little part of me was starting to think that maybe the nurse had given me the wrong drugs. Then on Wednesday of this week my hair started falling out. A pretty good clue that I got the right drugs. Monday I go back to start my next round of treatments...wish me luck.
