Day 20 of 25

So it's full bore ahead and damn the torpedoes!

I saw Dr K today. We decided to go ahead with the treatments and so I had number 20 today.

The main thing is that I also saw a pain specialist at the cancer centre today so I will have good pain relief. Dr Jarda thinks there's some nerve involvement and is trying to find drugs that are covered. The drug that helps the most so far is one that is often abused so ODSP and CCAC don't cover it anymore. I kind of understand that but it's not helping me right now.

They also set up with CCAC that the Care nurses will evaluate me tomorrow to see if they can help me with the wounds.

Also I have the power to call the whole thing off, if or when I need to. That's important.

My sister in law Mary has graciously offered to drive me for the rest of the way. I can't even BEGIN to say how grateful I am.

Gotta get to bed, treatment at 9 am tomorrow!

While I sleep please enjoy pictures from tonight's swim!

Nothing better than legally holding your sibling's head under the water while I time them on the iPod. They had a system of hand signals to let the other know when to let go of their heads!

    After a pirate's parrot dies, what does he do with it?
