Happy New Year

Spent the last week without having Chemo. It was good for a while but the tiredness has started again. It takes about 3 weeks for all the Chemo drugs to leave my body. Shirin, Alyssa and myself spent New Years at Reenah's parents place. It was great fun. Alyssa had a good boogy, in fact you couldn't stop her dancing. Shirin got trashed, which is only fair since she's been working so hard looking after everyone. I had a couple of beers, but won't be doing that again as it upset my stomach the following day.

Over all the last week has been good, just wish I had more energy. Going to see the surgeon tomorrow to discuss when the operation is going to take place. I'm guessing it's going to be the end of Jan/ 1st week of Feb. So not long to go. These next 3 weeks will be my last 3 weeks of eating normally so I'm going to pig out.

I've also decided to fly off to vegas provided I can get reasonable travel insurance. It's amazing how much they bump up the prices if you have cancer! I've seen some quotes for 5,000 pounds for 3 weeks cover!!! Anyway, I'm sure I'll find a cheaper quote and looking forward to visiting some relatives in Vegas and New York.

Energy : 6/10
Eating : can't stop, always hungry
