I've been getting interferon Beta shots for 6 days now, until yesterday I had not suffered any side effects, but that changed. I got home from the hospital and headed out with my daughter to a Tea Ceremony demonstration, she studies this as a club in school and wanted to go. Of course half way through the ceremony I started to feel bad, but the time I got home I had a very high fever. We phoned the hospital and they said to take some pain killers to bring the fever down and to rest, well I did that but it took all day! I'm really hoping that this was the exception, I've got a busy week or two ahead of me and I dread going through this each day.
On to some good news!
I lost a half kilo today, about a pound. First time in forever I have been below 116Kg/255lbs. On Oct 13th I went in for my first cancer operation, I was at 116Kg/255lbs.
As I said, I went to the tea ceremony with my daughter, I got dressed up in a suit & tie. I wore the same suit at the end of March for my other daughter's grad from junior high school, at the time I could just squeeze myself into it. I could not button the coat, but yesterday that same suit hung on me like a tent. I could pull the jacket over itself like a double breasted suit. Boy that made me feel good!
I've still got a ways to go on the downsizing end of things, but I think I have beaten back the cancer, and now I'm getting back on track with the exercise stuff. I'd say I'm now at the halfway mark of the weight loss that I want, or close to it, I just have to keep it up.
I just wanted to pass this great news along, and again thank everyone here for your help.
Cheers!
