No puking allowed

Do you ever have one of those days when you wake up in the morning and you DON'T puke before breakfast? Sweet isn't it? I remember those days .....

Here we go again

Six months ago I started getting headaches and nausea. This was right after I had finished radiation therapy on my brain so the thinking was that these symptoms would go away by themselves in time. As much fun as the daily nausea has been, it has been wearing me down. I went in for a PET scan last week; the intent was to see if there was any cancer in my stomach, intestines, or other area that might be causing my nausea and headaches. They found nothing. But they did find that the cancer in my lungs and in my spine has grown. So Monday I will start chemotherapy again. The drug they are using will be different than last time; the doctor says that the side affects will not be as bad as I experienced the first time. My voice has started going down hill again, it was doing quite well until about two weeks ago, and now I am having a hard time speaking again. I am concerned that the device they put in my throat either is no longer working or there may be something wrong with my working vocal chord. I imagine I will be visiting my ENT doctor soon to get it checked out. -Eric
