I was planning on holding off using the flame thrower as the zombie apocalypse will soon be upon us. Plus, the guy just finished painting the house! At $70 a gallon I'd like a year out of it before the 5-year painting itch hits the wife.

Two years ago today, I had my first chemotherapy treatment. I remember very well feeling nervous as it began, not knowing what was going to happen. What side effects would hit me, how severe would they be, and when would they start? I remember the nurse asking me if I had ever had avastin, oxiliplatin, and folfiri before, but at the time those medicine names sounded like alien words to me. I answered, "No, this is my first go-round with terminal cancer!" She looked at me with a sour expression, but I shrugged and added, "This stuff is all new to me." What a long, draining day that was.
Tomorrow, I go in for more. I have lost count now how many treatments I have had, but it has to be more than 40. |

It may not seem like much to those who are not in my shoes, but I am actually joyful that I am going to be able to have a big COLD glass of orange juice today with my breakfast. The oxiliplatin has not given me lasting cold sensitivity yet, but it is cumulative, so after a few more treatments, it may stay with me constantly. Drinking or eating anything cold when I have the sensitivity is very unpleasant. Think of a mouthful of burrs or tiny cacti in your mouth and throat. Touching anything cold, such as the glass that I poured my juice into, drains the heat from my fingers and makes it feel like I've gotten frostbite. I have to run hot water over my hands because waiting on my blood flow to warm me up again takes too long.
Before cancer, I certainly did enjoy my cold orange juice, but it wasn't something I thought about, being able to drink it that way. Now, I don't take it for granted. When it gets so I can no longer have it, then I'll go back to room temperature cranberry juice, which I also prefer cold, but it is a bit better than tolerable when it is not cold. Warm orange juice, though... forget it! Now, if I *ever* get off the sodding xarelto and can have grapefruit juice again, that first big cold glass might just make me JIMP. |
