The Tumor Killing Juice

I'm not sure I will ever get used to this recipe.

http://youtu.be/uc5MW25CdhA

Disclaimer: this really isn't a tumor killing juice, although the book we got the recipe from said it was a tumor killer. Tabasco sauce makes all the difference.

Out And Back Southern Utah

Gina and I had to pick up our Daughter from college today. We made a few detours along the way. It was nice to get out after a crappy previous few days.

30 Day Blogging Challenge: Day Two – 3 Fears I Have

First fear: being trapped in a box or something that is locked from the outside. I'm not claustrophobic, but I do get freaked out when I am trapped and can't work my way out.

Second fear: Insects, bugs, spiders, that might crawl on my body. Nothing freaks me our more that having an unknown bug crawling on my head or neck. I have been know to jump around a little when this happens.

Third fear: Losing my job. When you are a husband and father, putting food on the table, clothing, and shelter are always a worry, and having a job to pay for them is always top of my list. My fear is that I will be let go from a company and then never be able to get another job. Foolish notion, but it drives me to have more than one option.

These are generally my fears. Took me a while to really come up with these.

First Attempt At Juicing

http://youtu.be/2mZXDNqFCIQ

Trying to make a juicing recipe, didn't go so well. Stoic picture before I actually try the juice.

Chemotherapy One

I'm feeling well enough today to chat about my first chemo treatment. The overall report is it was like sitting in a chair with an IV in your arm, for five hours. Boring. My beautiful supportive wife spent the entire time with me (a must if you are sitting immobile for that amount of time.) And my daughter Ashley dropped in to say hi and take a quick photo.

The only real after effect for me was feeling very tired and run down. Doc said to expect that. Even today, the next day, I'm not feeling that bad, although I've had a headache since yesterday, not sure if it's related.

That's it for this report. Again, I appreciate all the love and support from everyone. Keep fighting.
