Hello to all. Steve here. My mom about got it right, this time around, I really felt about the same as the first treatment cycle as far as the nausea and stomach pains and stuff go. One difference, also like my mom said, is that I found that I have been much more tired. I've been finding myself dozing off really quite a bit, one day I actually woke up, started watching some NCAA basketball games, and next thing I knew, I was waking up to catch just the end of the games I had started watching. A lot of people tell me that they wish they could just sleep the whole day away but for whatever reason, this kind of sleep isn't exactly the blissful-at-peace-with-yourself kind of sleeping. I'd wake up and feel really groggy and out of it, and it was kind of an uncomfortable feeling. It's kind of hard to explain but I haven't particularly enjoyed the endless amount of fatigue. Part of that also could just be due to the fact that I'm one of those people who normally likes to be out and about doing something, and personally I always consider my day wasted if I sleep past 10 am. But the way I've been trying to look at it, is that all that sleep can't be bad for me, so I'll keep it on a positive outlook. It was nice to have a real meal the other day when I swung by my parents house to have dinner. Microwave food just gets old after a while. Nothin' like some mashed potatoes and gravy to raise one's spirits!
Anyway, I think that's all I've got for ya at this point. Much love to all, and I can't seem to say this enough: thanks again to everyone for all the love and support! It's meant the world to me so far through my fight.
Remember, what doesn't kill us, will only make us stronger! So once this is all said and done, I should be super-human-strong! :)
--Steve
