Hi Ainsleigh and all. Well i funished my 3rd infusion of Chemo and the smart drug. It sure is a rough ride but one that I must take. The feeling of low energy and just feeling crappy is how this trip goes. I have not had any nausea so I’m very thankful for that. However the steroids that I take are really hard on the body in general. I just thank the good lord that they found this in time. Doc tells me theres no cure but they can manage it after my treatments and it will be like having diabetes. I hope he’s right. Enjoy your day people!!!!!

Hey there Shaker buddy,
Thank you so much for letting us know how your getting along. I know others feel as I do and we have such great concern and admiration for all you have been through.

You take good care of yourself my friend.
You are very much loved here on Connect and our thoughts and prayers are always with you.
Hoping any future treatments will be easier.
Blessings, wishing you health and happiness,

@shaker1956 - Hi Shaker
We are happy to hear back from you- just sorry the treatments are so difficult. Glad though that the situation can be dealt with ongoing! My husband has diabetes and what with insulin 4 times a day and a collection of meds is able to carry on quite well. Glad to know the outlook for you is like that! Is the smart drug a new thing?
Stay strong.
Best wishes
Ainsleigh

@shaker1956 -Hi shaker- Just wanted to drop you a line and say I hope things are going well with you. It was so lovely to hear that
you have such a terrific supporter in your wife- I am sure that makes things a lot easier to cope with! I wanted to wish you and your family ( and all our Connect friends) a happy holiday season and if you celebrate it- a very merry Christmas - and a heathy Happy New Year! I know you must be counting the days until that new Grand baby arrives-will it be the first one?
Best wishes
Ainsleigh
