And we were driving on here a day across the desert, and it occurred to us they wouldn’t be world hunger if you people would live where the food is! You live in a desert, understand that?! You live in a fucking desert!! Nothing grows out of here! Nothing’s going to grow out of here!
I regularly do 4-5+ hours on the bike and finished a marathon training block in January. I'm not the fastest but I love long distances. But I've got a (1) bum knee that needs to be babied, (2) no idea how to swim and (3) zero brick training. I'm still enjoying and improving on the bike. I'll get to addressing those other variables sometime in the next year and sign up for a 70.3. Oh, and I don't have a tri bike and its going to be a bitch to convince my wife I need another bike.
Well, this won't be a surprise, but that's folfox as well. I'd add that 48 hours of the Ox infusion I'd crash and often spend (most) of a day or two in a dark room just lying in bed. No stimuli.
I had the ox infusion on Wednesday so my wiped out days would be on the weekends.
I take it from context at least you are also NED, so congrats. I started pissing blood a few months ago and got the complete workup including CT scans, so I got a free NED-pass with the negative results. (blood was from marathon training and is fairly common)
I remember my docs talking about IDEA but folfox was protocol for Prospect. I also remember showing up in court a couple of times with that 5-fu pump on. That was stupid. I have no recollection about whatever insignificant hearings they were or why I was dumb enough to thing I belonged there wearing a chemo pump.
I appreciate the kind words but I'm not really in danger of missing a time cutoff. I'm 100% recovered from cancer. I'm thinking about pacing and prefer (and appreciate) the insights of you all that have done it a few times over the random "advice" I can find elsewhere on the internet.
So in a half, for us old folks I'm guessing a mid-to-decent time is about 3 hours bike, 2 hours running and, well, I have no idea swimming. Is that about right?
As I'm sure know, SOC is (or was at least) chemorad/surgery/12 rounds folfox/capox. The Prospect Trial (https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2303269) used folfox instead of chemorad. I'm one of the 1194. I had a complete response and my functionality is pretty close to pre-cancer even with the TME surgery. I was dx'd 3/16/17 and essentially discharged 8/3/17. It was a whirlwind.
Interdasting. I was a t3n1m0. I enrolled in a clinical trial and had six rounds of folfox before surgery. The surgical path report came back t0n0mx. And that was the unexpected end of that.
Good luck on you PET. I was/am at MDAnderson and took a certain comfort knowing I was at the best cancer hospital in the world and there was nothing more to be done. So just roll with it. And always ask for ativan to be added to any infusions.
On my tv, you have to search for/open the ESPN app and then there’s a sports menu. “College baseball” then lists a shitload of games, including sec plus.
Did my first century on the bike today. Coincidentally the eight year anniversary of being diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer. Now I need to find motivation to swim, and do bricks.
Always the same bed, although we were perfectly happy sharing a twin way back in college. That would not work at all now. Anything less than a king and we have territorial disputes. And we’re 275 pounds combined.
