24 of 30 dives done

Sitting in the airport right now and realizing it's been a while since I traveled last. While I love to fly, there are certainly things I don't miss. So, today was my 24th treatment, 6 more to go. I'm headed to Tampa for some meetings and will resume my treatments next week Thursday due to travel to Plano for quarterly review. Feeling pretty good these days, getting more walks in and starting to get back to some 'toning', well short of what my grandpa would call weight lifting, ha! Heads up, Movember starts in two days and I'm seeing Movember/Gillette commercials....very cool!

Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment...1/3 done

Actually slightly more, done with 12 of 30 treatments. Met with my urologist yesterday for a Cysto and discussed options if HBOT doesn't work. You know, cancer sucks, and after 4.5 yrs of fighting, I'm mixed in emotions. Mostly pissed off and even more determined to do what it takes to put this into remission, improve my quality of life and most importantly...help serve as a mentor and advocate. When I'm done selling software, my next calling is to work full time raising awareness around prostate cancer. My goal, NFL players wear light blue during Sept which is National Prostate Cancer awareness month. Until next time, make every day great!

This HBOT better work

Tough weekend when it comes to bladder issues. Ever had a bladder spasm? Well, I get multiple per day, not fun. Btw, nice Packer win today :) Until next time

Feeling Groovy!

My second Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment went smooth as can be. I didn't feel the loss of energy like I did the first day. Today I ran into a women who was on her 42nd treatment out of 60. She's fighting breast cancer and she described images that had been taken and the HBOT has shrunk her internal lesions so that's great news. I talked to the Dr. it will be okay to take the week off I had planned to go to Myrtle Beach and golf. So, I need to get all of my sales opportunities closed by no later than Oct. 4th Friday, Sept 13 was awesome!

HBOT - Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

So the first treatment was today....interesting. Feeling the after effects which are fatigue and a massive headache. Maybe I should go back in time a bit. During my last surgery my Dr. said that I have bladder cystitis meaning my bladder was damaged from the radiation. This damage causes soars or cysts in/on the bladder. So I have constant blood & clots I pass in my urine. Dr is hoping HBOT helps heal the bladder. one treatment down, 29 to go.
