    They are putting me out on family medical leave act - disability leave from work...

    Filling out the paperwork this week.

    I have been neglecting treatment in order to drive and work (not taking meds) and everyone is angry at me...

    Have to start a new pain management specialist regimen next Thursday to try and make a dent in the pain events...

    I am not happy - but treatment seems to be going well otherwise - tumor is shrinking - side effects are a beach...

    I guess I knew this would happen but I am deeply emotionally conflicted about it.

    More to follow.

    I can imagine that each 'adjustment' seems like you are losing something. Maybe if you try to think of it more as a trade it could help. Less working in exchange for more healing.

    You know that you have to do what is needed and why. It surely won't always be fun or anything close to it. But you are also smart enough to know that fun isn't the point right now...Recovery is.

    Keep fighting, Mike. Stop by here to decompress, vent, rant, *, or complain...Whatever you need.

    Mike my cancer was different from yours. I had surgery on day 1 and then 5 more down the road.

    After the first surgery i was in bed for the duration. A little over a year.

    It was not my choice or what i wanted. Every time i would get a little better i would have another procedure and knock me down again.

    It was the only chance i had to live. It was not what i wanted.

    I had to decide to live with my side effects. My ears ring all of the time and i am in constant pain from arthritis from my chemo.

    There are going to be decisions you are not happy with but they know better than we do what is best.

    Trust me you are going to need all of your energy to get through the rest of your adventure.

    God Bless
