Time for a bit of Canadiana.
This picture was taken early in the morning on Jack Lake, at Daryl Aitken’s cottage. Daryl and Janet are in the canoe, while I am safely ensconced on the pier taking pictures.

Yesterday. You read all abot it in the newspapers, saw the press releases. No? Surprisingly badly supported day.
I was at the Chemo Daycare yesterday, and nary a mention of this. Janet tells me the CBC morning show mentioned it o Wednesday, but I saw nothing in the rest of news stories. Follow this link to [...]

No not from chemo. Side effects from stuff like this blog.
I am not sure what the original motivation was. Communicating with family and friends? Therapy for me? What?
The effects of the blog have been nothing short of amazing.
An acquaintance of Nancy’s wrote at the very beginning thanking me for the blog. Her aunt had cancer [...]

Brain Fog
It turns out that Brain Fog is not restricted to chemo patients. We all have [...]

Tree in yard

Some pictures are right under your nose. You just pass by the subject so many time, you start taking it for granted.
This tree is located in the front yard of my brother’s house in Atlanta. I have passed by it many times. We park under it. Walk around it. It is always there, [...]

I have cancer as a punishment for my evil ways. Why could the punishment not have been the flu? Or something equally benign? I guess it could have been worse is I had sinned more. I watch House every week on television, and there are a number of conditions that are worse than cancer.
I noticed [...]

This picture, as promised, was taken under the overpass. I liked the colours and the lonely chair. Who would come and sit there? What would they be contemplating? So many questions.

Went to see Dr. Kennedy today. She was delighted to be the first to give the results of the CT-Scan as well as CEA blood test numbers. The CT-Scan results are outlined below. As you can see, a huge drop in the size of the tumours.
Janet and I were both a bit overwhelmed by the [...]
