My energy level was up all week, and I think I owe most of that to all of you who have and continue to support me and my beautiful family!
My brother Chad started a GoFundMe campaign after hearing of some procedures and hospital stays I've already had that are not covered by my current insurance (can't wait for open enrollment at work).
The amount of love and support I feel from everyone is overwhelming and my family and I are humbled by the generosity of others. This experience further solidifies my core belief that in general, people are great! Thanks again!
My Oncologist told me that Fridays and Saturdays immediately following chemo would be my worst days. But even with that info, I didn't know what to expect.
He said that on Friday and Saturday I would wake up and think "man, I just don't want to get up". That is exactly what happened. I don't know if it was just fatigue or what, but I didn't want to budge.
He also told me that if I just did it, and got out of bed, I'd feel much better.
So, I took his challenge and forced myself out of bed. It was a miracle! Within minutes, I felt well, and didn't even skip a beat! Even mowed my lawn today (with Ashton's help), and it felt great to be moving!
I'm so greatful for the strength I've enjoyed thus far and hope it continues!
Round 2 comint up in 10 days. Stay tuned!
Good work, bro! Don't let it keep you down!
