Today was totally a rest in bed bed day. Even though I didn’t rest in bed all day, I did spend most of the day on the couch sleeping, so didn’t get much done except for rest. Seen as that is what I need right now, I’ll let myself off this tim...

As expected, today I had more energy than the days before. That was really nice as I could spend some time with my kids who are visiting me at the moment. 🙂 Also I managed to complete another step in my plan for world domination, I mean, secret plan. Perhap...

Another quick update, it is now almost 2 weeks since my first chemo treatment. Had some good days and some low days. But if I count them all up, there were more good ones. Way more good ones. As far as side effects go, at the moment, still just a slightly tend...
