Bring it on.

I know that my wearing a red shirt often can be confusing. "Is it real or is it more complex?"

Today, it was a little complex. Other than for my misplaced rib, I felt very good and got better as the day wore on. I relaxed all afternoon and, as a result, I felt the rib less. Further, my bowels behaved very nicely.

Watching people play bridge, I observe that those that play fearlessly often do well. In the same way, I feel that approaching chemo positively and with encouraging words from so many of you, helps yield a successful result. This, in no way, minimizes the importance of diet and supplements. That is part of my confidence.

So thanks for so many kind words and emails.

I had to take my Flucanazole today. The packaging is such that the pill often splits in two when you try to get it our of the package. It happened again tonight. I told the research manager that when it broke like that all the good goes away in the same way that breaking a cookie in half causes all the calories to fall out of the cookie. I don't think she bought it. If she had, I could have had a few cookies, if only we had them in the house!

Going to take it easy for the balance of the evening.

Big day tomorrow. First, persuading the chiropractor to treat me and then to show chemo that it does not scare me. Bring it on.
