    Thanks for asking Sue. I have

    Thanks for asking Sue. I have been following the boards but haven't felt like saying much lately. I am still struggling since surgery which is nearly 6 weeks ago. I am still dealing with pain, occassional upset stomach and worst of all extreme fatigue. When I say fatigue I mean falling asleep at work even though I got plenty of sleep. The fatigue has been going on for a few months even though I haven't done any chemo in 4 months. My oncologist thinks it is just a result of all the trauma my body has been through lately. I did get out on my Harley for a short ride last week and ride the stationary bike a few days a week. But I would sure love my old self back, moutain biking and/or motorcycle riding nearly every day of the week. I have a scan in the begining of November. Hopefully I will still be stable since all of the proceedures. I will officially be a 10 year stage IV survivor in a couple of weeks. I will post then on my cancerversery.

    Keep that chin up, Jeff

    I'm happy to hear that you've been able to get out on your Harley a few times, Jeff. I know what a boost that will give you, and boosts are sometimes hard to come by when you are struggling. 

    Thanks for taking the time to reply. I know that it can be hard just composing a post when your in pain, or distracted by all of your woes. 

    Know that we are always thinking of you. Routing for you. Getting the cyber love going. 

    Here is a group hug for you  image.

    Hey Jeff,

    I commented to you on the nausea thread (that's something you'd probably only read on a cancer forum, huh?), but wanted to say it here in case you didn't see the other one...you're in my thoughts and I really hope things are improving.  These big surgeries can really knock you on your butt for a while in my experience.  Can take months to get back to "normal", whatever that is for us these days.
