    off votrient

    5th day off votrient. I feel so human! I am eating great and food is tasting awesome. I even feel stronger. My arm and leg hurt but that will be over shortly. Mentally I am pumped up like being told "You're gonna be a grandpa!" Absolutely no second thoughts what so ever. I can honestly say I haven't felt this good in at least several years. This brief drug holiday has made my gut feel as if nothing has ever been wrong. I'm giddy with excitement. I better take a new selfie while I still look like an Edgar Winter. Since I lost so much weight, I donated most of my clothes. It will be time for a new wardrobe. (big deal. t-shirts and jean shorts.)

    I am so confident in nivo and radiation that I'm putting all my eggs in the same basket. I would worry if someone else did this. But I'm all in. Easy peazey. The concept of my cancer being a manageable chronic disease is only a little out of my grasp. But I can touch it. I can taste it. I am living the yang of confidence and excitement equal to the ying of a newbies fears when first diagnosed. I also think the timing is perfect. I get the rest of winter and spring to exercise. Light weights and yoga is where my effort will be focused. People have often asked me why I only use light weights in my exercise. The answer is, "because I can't pick up heavy weights!" (I use that line every chance I get.

    I'm so glad I didn't sell my Harley. I have recovered my motor skills and my guitar playing. Working with tools is still a challenge but I am overcoming that too. My family is well, beer tastes good, and pizza is a gift from god. Simple pleasures for a simple man. Glenn Fry tells me it's a "Peaceful, easy feeling." Karma all around. Seconds for everyone!

    FLY!!!!!
