It was a Good Day

By Steve | Published: August 30, 2016
It was a good day yesterday. It was a really good day. Starting with a great mid-cycle check up with my oncolodoc.

Whatever Normalcy Is

By Steve | Published: August 11, 2016
I’m gradually realizing that I really don’t like the side effects associated with my treatment meds. Fatigue and shortness of breath with activity are not exactly conducive to supporting a running and multisport lifestyle. I know the effects from the treatment are temporary.
