Journal entry by Ken Wade Diebold —
Well it has been one hell of a year since I left the Hospital with no hair and New Bone Marrow!
Since 8/9/20 I have received 2 of my 3 rounds of Vaccines (Hepatitis B, Hib, Polio, PCV13, DTaP) to get my immune system up to modern standards. No worries I got my COvid 19 Vaccine added to that list. My daily regimen for the past year has been a small chemo pill I take for 21 days on then 7 days off this helps keep any remaining cancer at bay, if things keep going well I do this for one more year. I see my oncologist on my 7 days of rest to do labs to make sure all is in check and my last check in my labs came back excellent.
Sorry I haven't been posting. much here which is a great thing because there is not much to report. Dealing with a little Chemo brain and numbness in my feet but I am back to working out, eating right (too much) sleeping thru the night and loving life.
What I have learned is life it too short to sweat the small stuff and dont put off anything you want to do till tomorrow because you dont know what tomorrow will bring you.
I thanked my GP for finding my cancer at my 1 year physical 2018 and catching it real early helped me fight this thing. Thanks again to all our friends who have checked on us during this journey we appreciate you all. Shoot me a text or phone call to check on me or just say HI whenever you feel the urge I plan to be here a long time!
