May 12

Back to radiation today. They were running late so I received all kinds of advice in the men's dressing room. According to one elderly (75) gentleman, I should be smoking weed. He proceed to tell me it helps with the appetite and it is just a great high. I asked if he had a prescription, wrong question. Apparently his doctors do not agree with his views on medicine. He has also been smoking 2-3 packs of cigarettes a day for 60 years., and go figure,the doctors do not agree with that. I did not ask if he had a prescription for the cigarettes.

I was pretty exhausted this weekend and continuing into today. I am looking forward to my week off of chemo starting this Thursday. I did not run on Sunday, I did go for a walk with Cynthia for Mother's Day.

As the Oxilplatin wears off I hope to be feeling better and perhaps another run. thanks again for all the support, good wishes and positive thoughts.
