update

I started a new round of Chemotherapy last week. This included the new chemotherapy drugs that they have identified. Side effects so far are nausea, fatigue, (I'll spare you the bowel movement details), and a general feeling of crappiess. I also started physically therapy on my leg last week. Both of these new treatments together make me very tired. The fatigue is expected from the chemotherapy drugs. The physical therapy exercises on the surface appear easy, however it is surprising how little my right leg can do. The leg fatigues extremely quickly and doesn't do much at all. They gave me one or two exercises that I can do at home, scheduled more office visits for additional therapy going forward, and recommended some endurance training on a stationary exercise bike. I now own a recumbent exercise bike at home that I can use to help speed up this process. Well the kids are in bed now, which means it way past my bedtime. Take care, and wish me luck. -Eric
