Had a real shitty past week - had to let my dog cross the rainbow bridge, but turned the corner for the weekend and went out in public (other than errands) for the first time in six weeks and made it to TX/OU. I have this week off (going to Kentucky for the game/fun this weekend) and then start my last chemo round next Monday, and god am I looking forward to getting this shit over with. I have had some issues with tinnitus since this started, which I would say has gotten worse after this last round - I have felt some general wooziness/equilibrium imbalance feelings this time around related to it, which hasn’t been fun. I guess ototoxicity is one of the unfortunate side effects of the cisplatin. Has anybody who has been through this drill had problems with this/found anything effective to help with it?

I almost stopped watching as soon as he transformed because the voice was so off-putting - it is really distracting in a bad way.

Time for another ‘my dog is awesome’ thread
KingBobo81 replied to Patricio Swayze's topic in Daily Texan
I had the day every dog owner fears yesterday. I rescued Captain guy 7 years ago (well, he rescued me). We had an inseparable bond - he was literally never more than a few feet away from me 24/7. A few months ago I got diagnosed with cancer (see the I caught the cancer thread) and am weeks away from finishing treatment and beating this shit - he has helped me and my family navigate through the toughest few months of my life. Captain's health started failing during the middle of all this and I had to make the gut-wrenching (yet unquestionably correct) decision to help him cross the rainbow bridge yesterday. He almost saw me through it but couldn't quite make it, and he passed peacefully yesterday morning. RIP buddy, I'll never forget you,. -
What new UT gear are you looking to buy this year?
KingBobo81 replied to GhostOfTomJoad's topic in Football
I bought the Cool One UPF pullover last week…pretty nice. Will see how well it works at TX/OU. -
Started Round 3 Day 1 today, which means I officially am more than halfway done. My white blood cell count is still a little low (but higher than he thought it would be)/will need the Neulasta equivalent for Rounds 3&4, but the doc said I should be good to go TX/OU and to Kentucky the following weekend as long as I feel fine.

/csb I was up in Chicago over Labor Day weekend for Oasis staying at the Chicago Athletic Association. After dinner, I had to run up the to the room real quick and as soon as I saw the lobby elevator doors close when I got in, I thought "huh, that guy in the lobby looks just like Shane Gillis." I came back down to find out one of my friends asked him if he was my fraternity brother from college, while another drunkenly accosted him for a picture, which he obliged. By the time I got back down, he smartly had already headed up to his room as quickly as possible. /csb

Im avoiding situations involving the sun/have seats in the shade. It’s all moot at the moment with this white blood cell count needing to get up/me not going anywhere - like you said earlier, I’m not going to FAFO. I got my 27 hour jab during the fourth quarter last night…no bad side effects yet.

Finished round two of chemo and am halfway there! I have the 27 hour bomb on my arm set to poke me probably during the fourth quarter tomorrow. I still feel mostly good, though I had higher than normal blood pressure the last few days (probably reading the news during treatment didn’t help). Now two weeks off before round 3! Had to give up my season tix for at least the next two home games while I largely quarantine at home, but if that’s the biggest problem I have, I’ll take it any day.

CDC responded on Twitter about how people with those tix have rightly paid for access to both. I agree it is terrible optics and wish they would find a solution. -
Question - for your wellness appts do you just see your GP annually, or do you have to take extra steps like a cardiologist for the heart stuff?
-
Definitely plan to. I went to the game on Saturday (left at half to make sure I didn’t wear myself out) and volleyball at Moody yesterday. Looks like those will be my last events to go to for a hot minute now that this news came today.

Looks like I am joining this party - had low white blood cell count so will be doing this when round 2 is done.

Chemo round 2/4 starts on Monday for me. I have felt great physically in my two off weeks - I had a long weekend in Chicago over Labor Day and finally had a cancer benefit - sitting in the ADA section for Oasis, which was right next to the VIP tent/Gallagher children. It was great to finally have what felt like a few normal days without worrying about doctors appointments. The only side effects I seem to be having are tinnitus and the beginning of hair loss - I adopted a prison gang haircut to see if that will hold. I know treatment will likely get a little tougher to recover from each time, but I am encouraged by how the first round went.
