Better than before.

Well I have done two rounds now of my second phase of chemo. I am very glade to say that I am doing fine and feeling a lot better this time around. This chemo cocktail isn't as strong as the first cocktail or should I say as hard on my body. This isn't to say that this time isn't with out it's difficulties. I am able to function for the most part and keep somewhat active. I am able for the most part to get out and around. I have settled into a chemo routine now and can plan life around that routine so I have a life and I am making the most out life as I can. I have joined a hotrod club, the Golden Gate Street Machines Unlimited and making new friends here in Belmont. I am going to and participating in car shows and have plans to do a large upgrade project to my truck and do all the work myself, the old school way, no lifts, just jacked up on axle stands and crawling under the truck. Hard work but satisfying. A great feeling of accomplishment and pride in my ride because I did all the work. That makes it uniquely mine. Right now I need things to do. I have the time. It takes me a lot,lot longer to get things done, but there is no rush, however I do set myself completion dates for my projects otherwise nothing would get finished. I do not like doing chemo, but doing chemo means I get to do so very much that I would not be here to do otherwise. This is month 24. This is a very special month for me. I was told 24 months ago by my first oncologist that maybe, just maybe, they could give me and extra year with treatment and I might survive up to 24 months!!!! Here I am enjoying life and playing hotrodder, enjoying my family and not going anywhere soon, could it get any sweeter???
