Got some good news yesterday. Heard from Mayo Clinic that they do not think I have POEMS syndrome. Long story, but it’s a rare blood disease that could have been explanation for what is going on with the nerves in my feet. I didn’t want to have POEMS. So thank you, Jesus. Also means potentially taking a less aggressive approach after the 16 weeks of chemo.
Good progress. My body has received the IV chemo this week much better than the first day. I’m managing nausea, meds, and energy as best I can. Good sleep is challenging. Feel very grateful to God that things are going as well as they are. Not an easy process, but taking it one day a time.
I’m trying to do a light workout 3 or 4 times per week. It’s felt so good when I can. We setup a home workout area. Even if the gyms do open in NC, I really shouldn’t be in them through the end of the year. I did catch one of the Sunday services on the elliptical, but I had already heard the message.
