Today's Update!
Second round of chemo pills last night went fine. I'm having some trouble getting the recommended calories for the day and the doctor increased my carbs to 80 mg per day. This will give the healthy areas of my brain much needed sugar, however, it is not enough to feed the tumor regrowth. Also, 80 mg. will keep me in ketosis (I smell terrible by the way). I talked with colleague Donna Davis this morning and she told me about Lily's sweets (http://lilyssweets.com/lilys-story/) named after a brain cancer survivor. They sell low carb/ sugar free alternatives for people like me who love sweets!

Bet you pee all the time too. Ketosis is fun. Glad you are tolerating the treatments. One day at a time, oh wait... Looking forward to seeing Jason tomorrow and to seeing you when you return to what our hipster friend in Ithaca calls the 806.
Hey there, Cutie...I'm sure hoping you're receiving email at your ttu.edu address? After reading the blog about Blue Apron, I went to their website, and you should be receiving an email from them...let me know if you don't!!! You are beyond amazing with your blogs, and facebook posts (of course, we all knew this anyway)!!! LOTS of "shares" on facebook about your insurance nightmare, and contacting the "powers that be" about this nonsense...hopefully the word is getting out! You are SOOOOO descriptive about your treatment, everything...I feel like I'm there with you...sure wish I could be! Behave yourself...LOL Sending MUCH LOVE and HUGS!!!
I am a proponent of low carb eating, having been on that regimen since age 10. I have a bad bad bad sweet tooth and I am grateful to Donna for sharing that secret of Lilyssweet. I immediately went online and bought s 12-pack of almond and salty caramel bars. I will love to review for you.
