Just finished my 3rd and hopefully final round of Chemotherapy (I like to be prepared for the worst even though my Oncologist said he was certain  I would only need 3 rounds) and I can honestly say, I feel toxic!  But compared to where I thought I was heading 3 months ago after my initial diagnosis I can honestly say whatever.  Whatever has kind of become my mantra, and I can use it much more around mixed company in place of my old mantra FUCK CANCER.  So just to let you in on a little secret in case you didn't know (maybe you will pass it along to our legislators) Marijuana is helping my nausea a lot!  Go figure, as a pharmacists told me who will go unnamed, it is the best nausea cure out there.  I agree, and it helps greatly to take the edge off all of the chemicals rushing through my blood which probably feels a whole like being on Meth or Heroine without the buzz.  I also would like to be mindful of all the cancer patients who are still struggling with this killer (that I feel, we in the western world have helped contributed too, (something like 1 in 2 Americans get cancer of some form) with our chemicals, processed foods, and unhealthy enviorment...  but I will blog all about that later) and for those who have passed on because of it, and the families who have to deal with it.  The support I have received from my wife, kids, friends, co workers, and what now has become our little community at Boulder Kind Care, has been overwhelming and so humbling that if I had to say now whether I am blessed or lucky, I guess I could only say I am both.  More to come...
