It is pretty odd to think that I have something actively trying to kill me running around my body...and more than that, that I'm actively pumping poison into my veins on a daily basis to kill the stuff that's trying to kill me...along with some collateral damage in the form of my hair, skin, nails and (yikes!) kidneys and liver.
Especially odd because I don't feel much different from a month ago. Except for the scar and the missing piece of my former self.
Just got home after working all day plugged into chemo. It feels pretty good to keep stuff moving along at work and especially with the team I've got, they're a bunch of good young people, I'm pretty impressed by how they are all stepping up. I mowed the backyard...the new grass was about 6" high, it looked like a wheat field out there.
So, no nausea, no hair loss (not expected at this point), no real fatigue. Just another regular day. Feeling like as much of a rock star as I can.

That's because you are a rock star! Wait, I can only say YOU ROCK because I haven't heard you sing...you know what I'm talking about! And you are going to kick cancer's butt! We will continue to hope and pray that you feel well despite all the drugs. ;)

The 'Stella Maris' (Star of the Sea) Centre at St.Joseph's Hospital was where you had your surgery Geoff; everyone there was a 'star', especially YOU and Melissa. Today you feel like a 'rock star' - I love Jenn's comment and couldn't agree more with what she says!
Love and prayers my son! Mom
Keep up the good fight Geoff. We're always thinking of you and hoping for the best. Can't wait to see you on the other side of this, stronger than ever. We appreciate the blog very much. Take care and give our love to Melissa.

If you have ever heard him sing . . . you would know better than to bring that up. On the other hand his uncles doing their special rendition of Happy Birthday is a real treat. Will touch base later Geoff and see you about 2:00. UD
Geoff,
Hang in there. I will pray for white blood cells!!!

Geoff,
I think you are handling this like a Rockstar! Your hilarious, poignant, and optimistic musings are helpful for all the cheerleaders you have on your side. Thank you for giving us the insight and de-mystifying what can be some pretty scary stuff. My thoughts are always with you and Melissa. Love, Kasey
