Cancer status update 7:49 pm
so I am basically halfway through the initial and hopefully final round of radiation and chemo at hopkins. i need to post an updated picture of myself so everyone can see my bald/shaved head.i had a few fun days being able to pull out handful clumps of hair to make the boys and laci laugh but all the hair that was accumulating on my pillow at night started getting into my mouth so i got out the electric clippers i use every summer to shave my head and beard and just made it official.as far as my health,it’s pretty good although my weight is down more than i like and the siezure meds are barely working as i tremor and tremble all the time and have lost most of the fine motor control in my hands .also my digestive system isn’t great either but i have an appointment due to be scheduled with a hopkins nutritionist that should help me find foods that i will both crave and be able to keep down. i was finally prescribed ambien and last night was the first night i had ambien together with my oxycodone pills and i slept the whole night through. first time in over 35 days that that has happened.
