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!!!!!

feeling just as good as being told you will be a grandpa captures joy so well; how wonderful to regain life's good things.

on a more serious note, how can a drug that causes such awful side effects  a negligible impact on cancer ?

So glad that you will be on  low side-effect med that has shown good promise for you,

Sarah

Trial

Congratlations to an inpiration! I have a scan next week and I get the distinct impression that my Doc wants the mets to grow so that he can take me off the trial and put me on the Nivowhateveritscalledab. Quite simply it sounds like the dogs bollocks as far as cancer treatment goes

That sounds fantastic and I'm so thrilled to read this, Fox. I'm also glad you didn't sell that Harley

Your post made me cry. Good cry. I'm so happy for you.  Now maybe I won't need to offer my 'fattening up' services.

Congrats, Fox, so much, so many.
