October 23rd, 1965 -

It's my birthday. No this is not the beginning of my epithet. I am 44 years old today. 15 months post diagnosis and 4 ½ months after surgery.


The situation is stable. The markers are 9.7 (4.4, 9.5, 8 and 9.7). The scan does not show anything significant according to my hematologist. By pushing a little, he explains that inflammation is visible around the stomach in the region of the anastomosis, but it's nothing unexpected considering what has happened in my abdomen in June . As for cancer nothing is visible, which is a good sign. We will continue the hunt to catch it as it appears.

This is my third treatment with the addition of irinotecan. After 48 hours it goes well ... it is OK. I will not deny that this combination weakens me more. I am really lying down for 48 hours not eating much. After I gradually introduce food according to my hunger. This morning toast with peanut butter with green tea. At noon a mini salad: boiled egg, cherry tomato, feta cheese with a dressing made of olive oil, turmeric, black pepper, balsamic vinegar small green onions (scallions).

Tonight at 20:30, a dish of vegetable couscous with red cabbage salad, half a pita with garlic sauce, washed down with fruit juice.

I'll get a final green tea in front of the fireplace where Jordan started a fire and then take drugs just to sleep until tomorrow.

Good Health!
