Phases

O.K. I had the treatment Tuesday, it's Thursday afternoon and I'm feeling fine (sounds like a song title) but I know the signs; my damn taste is the first to go! You almost get lethargic about it. I'm good until Friday afternoon most times, I'm not sure if some of that is in my head cause it's Saturday that it really hits me, normally. But this taste thing man!! To at least a very small few of you that read this you will be very surprised to know what a reasonalby good cook I have become; well, at least in finally understanding the concept of taste and blend. And now I can't taste anything!!!!! Please don't construe this as a bitch session, I just want to share the experience because as a very good friend said it is "therapeutic for me" but may also help anyone else going through the same thing and I know of at least a few of you that have and right now you're nodding your head going yeah....remember that or........ Gee! that is what is happening to me right now!! I don't know who reads this thing, I know a lot of people have forwarded it on because I get responses from people I don't know........it's always been positive and encouraging and from people who are either where I am or just beginning. Unfortunately I'm the poster boy for what you don't want to have happen if you have Prostate cancer but I can and will encourage that: This is a detour not the end of the road!!............. And I'm not trying to do the Steve McQueen, Patrick Swayze thing of "I'm going to beat this thing man!!!".....We all knew they weren't, different kind of cancers too. Well I have the map........follow my lead. I can't tell you guys how much your Love, Prayers and Support means to me. B.
