Tim,
Hang in there and keep fighting. It's not a pleasant experience. There are many different chemo agents that treat the many different cancers. Each one works differently. The results and side effect do vary between patients. Even though I'm in my second battle in 8-1/2 years, I will not tell you I know what you're going through. The odds are low that it will be the same. I know what it did to me the last time around, and it wasn't fun. It did work for a while, but I was told from day one that it would be back. They were correct about that, damn it.
If you do feel good enough, get out and ride. I found riding to be my best treatment for the mental battle that comes with cancer. One's own mental state can be your worst enemy some days. You won't be upbeat and positive every day. There will be many folks that will tell you you have a positive attitude, but very few of them have been on your journey. Some days will suck to the nth degree. You will be depressed. Recognize what's going on, but shake yourself out of the mental funk. That's where a good twist of the right wrist will beat back the demons in your mind. Feel the power of your motorcycle surge throw your body and help regain the focus needed to fight your enemy.
It breaks my heart to read about others, especially COG members, who are going through cancer. I'm sending healing thoughts your way. Remember, there are many others in worse shape than us. Every visit to the cancer center confirms that for me.
May we both beat this stuff back so we can do a ride together sometime in the future. There are to many good roads to ride to let this stuff get in the way.
That's what we're all looking toward
