steroid junky

The steroids are now kicking in full time. I am constantly hungry. Even when I am full and cannot fit anything more in my stomach I want to shove more in. I am basically now living in the kitchen. The pimples are starting to regrow and also a little fuzzy beard. Oh well I get to gain weight but loose it in hospital. Sucks to be me.

All this food is making me fart like crazy. The problem is that I cannot smell whether it smells. I have to drop it somewhere 'quiet' :) .

The additional anti seizure drugs are making me feel lethargic. Don't know why they recommend it, it should only be used when a seizure has occurred.

a bit of luck

Today I am going to the supermarket (which is 600m from home) to look for shark cartilage. This is what someone was supplementing themselves to aid in their cancer treatment. My brother in law also had this with the intention of giving it to me but left it overseas.

So I go and look around, nothing. The directory also showed no signs of a health shop. What a disappointment. It was too late to go to the city. Bummer. I was hoping to get something so that at least I have time to try anything before the last scan on the 10th before the operation on the 11th. On the way back I was looking for a chemist but what do you know an undocumented health store. Cool.

While looking through the seeds I found apricot seeds. $3.95 for 0.5kg. WTF. So I bought a kilo. Unbelievable. What's the chances of that. So I leave with 2 bags of seeds and shark cartilage, and my wife added some stuff for her as well. Everything on the credit card. Man my debts are ballooning!

$8 for a kilo of seeds, whereas I had placed an order online for $35 for a kilo of apricot (kernels). I hope I didn't get scammed. We will see. At least I have some seeds in the mean time and can get more close to home.

Whatever happens of the cancer is reduced before the last scan I will be ecstatic. It would be a miracle else I will be a leper.
