Hi everybody! It's gorgeous here in Daly City- just sat outside on the deck, nice and sunny, huge waves! Just got radiation #22/25 today. Got chemo on Thurs. I just sent Sean to the market for egg nog, jello, ice cream and pudding, hehe...

Merry Christmas everybody!! Hope you're having an epic day. Things are beautiful here- we woke up and saw a pod of dolphins swim by, aaaah. Here's a picture of our tree. Giant hug to everyone out there!!!

Hope everybody's having a great weekend. We seem to be having one hell of a storm in Daly City- it resembles a hurricane. Just watched the Hunger Games movie- what an amazing flick. I loved the books and I wasn't sure how they could possibly make this movie, but they did an amazing job.
Doing ok- my esophagus and trachea are pretty fried- 18 doses of radiation down, 7 to go. Shan just picked up this amazing concoction of lidocaine, anti-histamine, and maalox for me to swallow. I think this is an excellent opportunity to eat more ice cream. Thankfully I get a mini-break from treatment because of Xmas- radiation resumes on Wed, chemo on Thurs... Big giant hug to Sean's Mom Janet for making us a smorgasbord (sp?) of holiday treats, and Sean's Dad, who unfortunately I missed on Sat :( 
We are trying to think up a post-radiation trip to Alaska to see the Northern Lights... Fairbanks?

Yikes!!! I just cracked out and read the entire Hunger Games 1st book in 24 hours! I had no idea that it would be so addictive. Are the other books as good? The movie? Sean and I are headed to Santa Cruz right now for the night. Hope everyone is having a spectacular weekend!

Hey guys! Nothing exciting on this front. Just recovering from this week's chemo. Had coffee with Mata, Adam and Revio this afternoon. Revio was a really happy baby today, and I dig his brand new teeth! We're going to take it easy for another night (might stream the Pipe Masters contest) and then head down to Santa Cruz tomorrow night to see the Expendables at the Catalyst. Those guys put on an epic show. Radiation is fine- 13 down, 12 to go! Hi-YA!!

Hey everybody!
Chemo went smoothly yesterday, radiation's fine too (just got dose 10/25). Have a dry cough, but nothing else to report. Summer went for a night at camp Steve- she returned very happy and with a massive container of grilled steak!
Here are a couple pics of Willam (aka the little man, aka rat fink)

Wow, everything's been wonderfully unexciting over here! Worked a busy half-day on Friday, am getting irradiated every day at 2- no side effects thus far. Gearing up for more chemotherapy on Monday. Had french toast on the back deck this am, aaaah. Pretty freaking nice sunny winter day at the beach! Ok- out to the yard to plant some stuff. Hope everybody's having a great weekend!

Huh, huh- we are the original Laser Cats crew!!

Look at this beautiful card that Sean gave me this morning- made my his Mom, Janet! Gorgeous!!
Everything's going fine with radiation- got dose 5/25 today, no side effects yet!

Happy Sunday! So did I tell you that Sean bought a new Mercedes? OK, it's a white van (Sprinter), pervert-style. Traded in the Subaru and now we have a windowless molester van!
Everything going OK- just dealing with the last day of chemo-induced ileus (I think this is just another part of the neuropathy). Hopefully the gastrointestinal tract will be good as new tomorrow. Getting radiation #4 on Mon, no problems so far...
Hope everyone's getting a little bit of sunshine today!
