Saba Beats Cancer

Yes - I am actually at work. I actually got a doctors note to work as is required as I end my FMLA - which is family medical leave and not what millenials think of when they see FML. At work and it feels phenomenal.  I am only working 4 hours a day this week and then resting. Will work 8 hours a day next week with only a 4 day work week.  Making sure I take it easy and have plenty of hand sanitizer and still taking antibiotics.  A few side effects lingering - the dry eye every morning, and a little tired - but that is it. Other than that I am a normal bald guy with no eyebrows or eyelashes.  Taking some vitamins that I will will accelerate the hair growth. We will see. The girls are still here and we have had some great discussions about weddings and futures and boyfriends and moving.  So nice not to talk about me and my health. Tonight we are going out to a new place for dinner.  So excited. And we are heading to the beach this weekend and I may ev...

So it's been one week since I finally got out of the hospital - and tomorrow will mark the first time since March 1st that I will go 8 days without a bag of chemo hanging from my arm.  Jeez. Still doing all my detox stuff so that I can get even healthier. Imagine waking up knowing that you will feel better than you have in 5 months. Every day for the next week or so. It is pure heaven. And we went to coffee shop number 3 this morning. It was a little far so just drove over there, walked the pups and sat outside and sipped my coffee and had a great egg taco.  Absolutely grand. The hair is coming in like an 11 year old going through puberty. All peach fuzz on my face and head. And it is pure white - I mean no color whatsoever.  So the first round of hair should be interesting.  Don't care as long as it is growing which means there are less toxins in my body. We did add wheat grass to the mix because there are indications it helps with detox and a couple of ladies...

I remember having some serious fear of how I would feel at this point. I had heard bad things about chemo 5 and 6 and was dreading it.  I mean I have basically felt crappy for 4  months and the thought of feeling crappier was pretty scary.  Which is why I was trying to find ways to prevent that by researching every single thing I could on detox for chemo. So all in all - not too bad today. The steroids have worn off (we now know the exact moment this happens because my voice gets a little weirder - higher and softer. Happens to be the exact pitch that Lee cannot hear so that I sound like a softer version of Charlie Brown's teacher when I speak from another room. Lots of "what?").  The senecot kicked in - so I am not feeling too bad. Part of that is definitely the routine and part is they didn't jack my chemo.  With others that went before me, they increased the dose every time - mine they didn't need to and they couldn't because of the Methotrexate in betw...
