CT Scan a Mexican

I just drove in and barely made it in time for my 3rd CT scan, the second one performed here at MDA. I'm right in the middle of drinking the first of two Barium drinks necessary to perform a CT scan. This will be the first among several test that I will have to go through to reassess the current state of my tumors.


I plan to get back to Austin as soon as possible. It's been a 50/50 split between Austin and Houston over the last few weeks. Which is a good thing. When in Austin, I have to take care of myself 100% of the time. Something that I feel is quite impressive for still having undergone 11 rounds of chemo in the last 9 months. But it is not without struggle. Chronic pain and neuropathy still plague my body which limit the amount of tasks I can perform or how I perform them. Nevertheless, I still manage. I've promised myself that now that the neuropathy in my hands has subsided enough to allow for typing, I would complete the many of unfinished blogs I have from earlier in this cancer battle. I also plan to move forward and pick up where I left off for the formalization of MexicanArmstrong.org as a non-profit charity thats main purpose is to raise awareness for testicular cancer.

"Yup, I'm having a lot of fun!"
