Hidradenitis

It all started like any other day.
Colin woke up, ate, went to work.
He was pain free.
Then he had an itch in his right arm pit.
When he scratched it,
suddenly there was a sharp pain shooting through his arm.
He came home for lunch and I took a look.
It looked like his lymph node was swollen.
The size of [...]]]></description>

Don&#8217;t worry..

Over the holidays, Colin made a decision.
Though we admit that his healthier diet has fallen off,
Colin said it was important to him
that he lead as close to a normal life as possible.
He said he wanted to become more self reliant. 
In that past month,
some work trouble, due to some legal trouble,

Loss of Appetite.

To be fair, Colin lost weight for a variety of reasons&#8230;
1.  Obstructed Bowels

Before we went to Hawaii, Colin was eating less because of the pain it caused.
It&#8217;s extremely fun for me me that
the internet has soooo many pictures for this&#8230;
This ones&#8230;informative at least.
2.  The Flu (Regular.  Not the swine variety)

Sad?  Abandoned?  Happy?

This was my 9am wake up call!
Colin likes to send me his &#8220;Rorschach print&#8221; tissue picture mail,
with multiple choices of what I think they could mean&#8230;
Who says chemo can&#8217;t be fun?
Stay Positive.  Do the Work.

New chemotherapy!
New side effects!

There really isn&#8217;t anyway to make a poppin&#8217; ad for this shit&#8230;
During the Avastin treatment,
(see previous post)
Colin&#8217;s nurse discussed what side effects are common with the new drug.
Of coarse, anything is possible when it comes to chemo&#8230;
And we&#8217;ll get to them.
You can read more about Afinitor below,
but, lets be honest,

Did you know, that when you cough or sneeze
you butt clenches?

The below image has nothing to do with this.
But it was too funny to pass up.
Its been almost two months since we battled Colin&#8217;s
(now infamous)
bout with constipation.
If you remember, it took several bottles of Magnesium Citrate.

Over Christmas, Colin once again asked me to procure
10 ounces [...]]]></description>

Colin:  Eric!  How does this make you feel?
Eric:  [waking up and thinking] Why is Colin holding a Maxi Pad?

After a few seconds,
a few CONFUSING seconds,
I realized what he was holding.
A bloody tissue from blowing his nose.
This is cancer boys idea of a &#8220;wake up call.&#8221;

This is the first time I&#8217;ve been able to get photos
of Colin getting his Avastin treatment.

I always either forget the camera,
forget the batteries,
or forget to charge the batteries.
This time I had a nurse take the batteries from a TV remote.
Why?
Because I either left the battery charger at the Benefit Show&#8230;
&#8230;plugged into a wall
or

The Sunday after we returned from Hawaii,

Colin announced the results of his MRI.
But, before we get to that
lets talk about how Christine organized this benefit.
First, she got the venue
Gallery 5,
to donate their space.
Second, the bands,

In Circles,

The Hot Damns,

Jonathan Vassar and the Speckled Bird

and Gull
donated their time and services to play.

Third,

You may have noticed the Dharma Initiative shirts our hosts are wearing.
They made them.
They made us some too.

They also made a Dharma Initiative Welcome area,
similar to the greeting recruits got from the submarine.

They also put together replica Dharma Initiative products,
which we got to bring home.

One of the customs we learned in hawaii was how to [...]]]></description>
