Wow! Today, Carolyn and I went through everything in the blog, photos, memories and all. There is so much more to this than just "Mike Rice's Journal". I am so pleased. I suspect everyone who shares it will feel the same.
Still my job here is to discover some good in all this that has happened to me and my family. The best thing you can hope for is to find out early. Clues can be a lingering cough, shortness of breath and unexplained weight loss.
We are learning every day. The good weeks are when you feel well and store up calories. Then for a week after chemo, its time to hunker down, watch out for fever, drink Pedia Lite and wait for your white blood cells to recover.
The doctor's are very honest. They are not happy with the tools they have to work with. Chemo gets better when they reduce the side affects, but it's still chemo. That's why research like this new "Stand up to Cancer" plan will help researchers share what they learn faster.
Thanks for reading, more to come. Mike
