Tomorrow is the day
Chemo begins again. This time it is "GEMZAR" a new drug for me, but a one that has shown promise on soft tissue sarcoma cells. No one knows how well it will work on my specific type of sarcoma, since it can't really be typed by the pathologists.
My pain in my legs, hips, and back seems to be under some moderate control with the recent increase in pain meds (40mg Oxycontin - 3xday, 10mg Lortab - As needed). Along with a nice wooden cane my parents bought me from Amish country in Ohio, and of course the wheel chair if I have to be on my feet much. I used the wheel chair at the store the other day but ended up get winded pretty easily.
I got a letter from my employer asking me to apply for "Long Term Disability". This will cut my pay and my job will no longer be held for me if I reach a remission period. This obviously is a cause of stress for both Amy and I, but we'll make it. Just another hurdle along the path.
