Hit Me Again
I had an appointment with my oncolodoc the other day. This one was at my request because some of my Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia symptoms that reappeared a few months ago and were previously tamed by the steroid decadron are back again. And we knew that the steroids would probably only be a temporary solution before we would need to call in some bigger guns and take a few doses of some chemo. We just weren't sure how temporary.

Hello Again Dex
OK, here we are. Day two of round four of decadron treatment. As with my previous treatments, I have all kinds of weird energy that I’m not sure how to control. One minute I want to start five projects at once (and I have) but a few minutes later, I’m annoyed, anxious, hungry, have a [...]

See ya Later Dex
So another four day decadron (Dexamethason) cycle is behind me. This was the 3rd round of a prescribed 4 that we are using to handle the mild flare up of a few of my chronic lymphocytic leukemia symptoms. The cycle went pretty much as predicted with many of the usual side effects and as usual [...]

A Little Scott Tinley Perspective
I was feeling particularly introspective, or insightful, or …. Something yesterday. Often times when those triggers start, I need to connect with a few key “go to” friends to help me affirm, refute, or process whatever is going on in my head. So yesterday I reached out to Scott Tinley. Below is my email and [...]

The Cat Rattles his Cage
Living with a chronic disease like chronic lymphocytic leukemia is like living with a caged up wild cat in your basement. You do your best to keep it locked and chained and barricaded away. You live your life with an “out of sight / out of mind” mentality. Intellectually, you need to be aware that [...]
