Update 8

20160703_144053[1]

Today was chemo treatment day number two. It was pretty much the same as the first treatment, except that I had more of an idea of what to expect. I gave them my same arm to use, the left one, as most of the pain has subsided. Now if I do have more pain in my arm at least I’ll have one good arm. 🙂 They did offer me some other options so that I don’t have to get poked by a needle in my hand every fortnight, I’ll explain these in more detail in another post.

Over the past three days my energy levels have been really good, however today after the treatment the energy dropped a bit. I think my body just got rid of all the chemicals and then I refilled it today. I think my body was saying something like: “WHAT THE ????” 🙂

I want to say a great big thank you to my support people who came along with me. It sure does make a difference to the whole experience. It also helps the time go by much quicker when I have awesome company around me.

Also a great thank you to the people who are supporting me from far and wide. I am still astounded by how much support I get from all over the planet. Today’s blog views include people from these places: New Zealand, South Africa, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates and the United States. Thanks to all of you. 🙂

You are all Awesome.

Positively, T Neil van Rooyen.
