Where am I going now? Let's see, first of all I think I'm going bald. My hair has become very loose on my head and can easily be pulled out. It won't be long now until it falls out on its own I imagine. So far it's only falling out on my head but that may change.
I also know that I'm going to be sick for a week starting this Friday because that's when I receive my next major treatment at the hospital and if it affects me as it did last time I'm going to be sick for a week after. The people at the hospital say that they're going to be giving me some new anti-nausea drugs this time along with some old ones that sort of worked. This may mean I won't get too sick but I'm not going to get my hopes up only to be disappointed so I'll be expecting to get sick when I go in...that is unless I take one of those drugs that makes me happy before I go in, then I won't worry about it at all! Maybe I should do that.
Finally, I know that under normal circumstances I would be going back to school in the fall. But because I'm getting radiation therapy every day for four and a half weeks in the fall I'm not so sure I'm going back. The radiation therapy will not only mean I'll have to take a long ride from where I live to the hospital and back but it may also get me sick. Not to mention, I will still be getting chemotherapy when the school year starts and even though I'll have no more "nasty C" to deal with at that time I'm still not sure if I'll be up to going to school. Only time will tell.

Hi Mitchell, thank you for keeping us updated on your journey with this dreadful disease - sometimes it seems the cure is worse than the disease. I look forward to the day when you tell us you are free of the nasty "C". I keep you and your family in my prayers daily and wish there was something that could be done to make this easier for you and your family. I am trying to make sure your dad does not have to leave very often so he can be with you. You hang in there - you're going to beat this thing! Carol Simmons
