Round 3

Hey everyone. Sorry its been a while sinse I`ve updated this blog. I havent been feeling well and I`ve been a little bed ridden the last week, but I`m feeling better now. When I went to chemo last monday, I felt fine. It went pretty good actually, no nausea or anything like that. My foot has been giving me a bit of grief the last few weeks though. I have a pinched nerve due to the lymphoma and its making my foot think its in a lot of pain. I have pills for it, but apparently they take a few days to work in my system. It`s been almost a week and I`m still feeling the pain. The last few days I have had stomach pain, and were not sure why. So that and the foot have kept me off my feet for almost a week. My stomach is good now and today I`m feeling pretty good. The doctors say its very hard to gain weight while doing chemo, and I`ve definetly lost a few pounds. I don`t have much of an appetite either which makes it hard to gain my weight back obviously. Well I guess that is it for now. I promise to update more often for you guys. I was getting poked by a few people to update it because I know there are a bunch of you who do check it regularely. Which is awesome by the way. I really do appreciate the support and words of encouragment. That is one of the very many benfits of church, is that your never alone when it comes to struggles, everyone seems to come together and pull for you. It is awesome knowing I have all of you and our Lord behind me helping me through all this. I`m very greatful. Thanks

Till next time, take care

Round 2

Hey, im back. Well I had chemo again this past Monday. Once again, the first few days therafter, I didn't feel good. Nausea and a limited amount of sleeping isn't much fun. But the last day or two, i've been feeling better and eating normal. Excersize is still a bit hard, as just walking up a couple stairs takes a bit out of me. My foot is pretty sore (doctor says it will go away by itself) Im a bit skeptical. Sorry for the long wait between updates. I've just been so busy.... yeah thats it. When I'm not feeling well, its hard to be motivated to do anything. Trying to keep a positive attitude and I look foward to days like this when I'm feeling better. Canucks are back on, so theres a plus.

It's a comfort knowing that this is all happening for a reason and God is puting this in my life (and yours) for His plan. I appreciate the words of encouragment from everyone. Making this situation easier.

Ok, til next time. If you have any questions or want to email me. hockey_sniper110@hotmail.com
