Congrats Matt on finishing
Congrats Matt on finishing your treatments! I know it is hard to not over do, I find myself doing too much, then my body lets me know in one way or another that I need to rest. So don't over do. I am trying to wean myself off the feeing tube, a little at a time. Hoping I can be off of it and maintaining my weight by Sept 11th so I can get the go ahead to have it taken out. Congrats again!0 -
WHOO HOO for you, Matt!!!
I remember the very first post from you...how scared you were, and all the "prep" you had to do with your teeth before you could even get started with treatment....and here you are finishing up...I can't believe you're still eating...GOOD FOR YOU! That takes some intense stamina, in my book.
Tell me more about the Epsom Salt bath...I've got one more chemo to do (Aug.28)....is it just super relaxing? Wonder if it draws some of the poison from the body...just very curious.
I guess you better put your dancing shoes on, too...cuz once I get done dancing the Ditto's around the kitchen....you next, my friend

Holiday Week-End
Matt,
I don't know if you remember this post of mine to you several months ago....
More than likely it might mean more to you now than it did back then....
Now you are finished with Tx and can really start to enjoy your week-ends again.
Holiday Week-End
Look at it as the glass half full....you get to enjoy your long Holiday week-end.
I know that might be hard at the moment, but trust me. A few months down the road from now, if you happen to look back on this post, you'll realize what I'm talking about.
You'll only wish you could have a three day period free of treatment, just to chill a little.
I know where you are coming from, many here have been the same. Just wanting to get the show on the road and feel like you're doing something to kill this beast inside you.
Like mentioned, it's a process, and that process has already started for you...
My best advise, just try to enjoy the week-end as best you can, enjoy your family and get you mind set on for the next few months.
Best,

CONGRATULATIONS!
This is awesome news Matt, you made it through the gauntlet!! It just keeps getting better, slowly, but most assuridly. You will be back to your active life style, it just takes patience as your body recovers. I remember wondering whether I would ever be able to run, pump iron, surf, etc following treatment, but the body does spring back. I hiked to the top of Mt Washington in NH, with my son last month, it was great! You'll be landscaping and getting back into all of the other things that you love to do before you know it, as they say. Have fun in Ohio. Just keep it movin forward!

Well done Matt, a big milestone you've achieved. Nice to see
your up and out also I take the Epsom salt baths twice a week
but I add Baking soda / Sodium Bicarbonate as well.
A few more weeks "cooking" and you will be well your way to a new normal.
God bless
