Celebrating a little tonight with some Smoke Wagon Bourbon and a cigar. Had my final chemo session today. My last PET Scan was completely clear of cancer. A subsequent CT scan for an unrelated cardiac issue showed the same thing, no cancer. Now I’ll just have follow-up visits to make sure that it doesn’t rear it’s ugly head again. Also got one of my ureter stents removed. Hopefully, the other will come out in early June. Once they figure out the treatment for my pericarditis, I should be on my way back to normal. Hopefully by the end of June. The recovery period after chemo, I’ve been told could as much as a year, but that’s ok with me. It beats the alternative.

Well, I'm back to a diet and exercise routine finally. In addition to a couple of kidney related surgeries, I was diagnosed with very aggressive lymphoma in December and my health declined precipitously very rapidly. After a few weeks in the hospital, I started chemotherapy and was able to return home. The lack of exercise and the steroids that I've been taking with the chemo (particularly Prednisone) have ballooned my weight up and atrophied my muscles. However, I had a PET Scan a couple of weeks ago and it came back clear. So, hopefully, just one more 6 hour chemo session and I might be done. Anyway, I peaked at 237 pounds a week ago. So now, I'm back to watching my diet and beginning to exercise. It'll take a while to build up the muscles again, and it's likely to be 6 months to a year before my Red Blood Cells recover sufficiently to provide a good amount of oxygen, but I'm working at it. I've been walking the dog, about a mile per day and have done a couple of 3 - 5 mile bike rides. We're going on a camping trip to ride 17 miles of the Virginia Creeper Trail this weekend. Also, built a new chicken coop and a large covered, fenced yard around it over the last few weeks. So, the activity level is improving. The toughest part of this, is the limit on protein that my Nephrologist wants. When I just eat mostly protein, the weight falls off, but having to limit protein, and eat more carbs makes it more challenging. However, I'll get there.
