Nicky Mo, so hot right now. Nicky Mo.
Boys and girls, it finally happened. On Saturday, I cranked out the elusive fever we've all been looking for. That's right I did it. Act like you're shocked, I dare you.
That's part of the news fit to print. The other part of the news fit to print is that my blood numbers are too low for chemo this week; the numbers required to do chemo here are different than at Sloan. And get this...they're more conservative here. So back home, at good old Sloany Ketts (who I'm losing faith in by the minute), they'd be like yeah man let's go crank out some chemo it'll be fun!! Yet here they're more along the lines of "no way dude let's get your blood numbers better and help your body fight the disease". Weird...what a novel idea.
So I get hit up with the shot that produces a fever again tomorrow. Obviously having a fever isn't fun but hey if it's doing the job activating the immune system against these cells...do you think I care? Let's do it up.
Diet update: it's going okay. I've adopted the juicing well and am limiting the non-naturally occurring sugars and salts pretty well. It's a decent existence that I foresee lasting 13 of 14 days. Cheat day once ever two weeks. Love it. Need it. Gotta have it.
Viva Mexico. Until later folks.
Nick,
ReplyDeleteHi. Just started reading your blog. Wow! You are truly amazing. We are wishing you the best. Stay strong and fight that cancer!
Love to you and Mom & Dad.
Brian, Patty, Alyssa & Brian Quain
Keep up the good work! We're all praying for you!
ReplyDeleteCome on boy...chemo it up. Looks like the fever is the prelim bout on the card and the lower dose chemo is next up. I'm rooting for your immune-self to recognize the non-self cancer cells and blast them to oblivion.
ReplyDeleteEnough science....make sure you are checking out the pretty little senoritas and bombard them with your charm and wit. That is one guaranteed distraction worth flying to Mexico for. (I don't wanna hear no comments about dat grammar.)
Hang in there...we are thinking of you every day and wishing for this to work (almost) as much as you and your folks!
