[6:11pm]
I had beers last night... it was good. My rebelliousness and desire for normalcy has overruled my obedience, caution, and a little bit of my prudence. But that's OK -- cause I had beers last night, and it was good!
Also, Dan reported that the SF Oncology Group had no problem with a few beers a few days after the end of chemo. So I'm not really being foolish.
The truth is: I'm aware of my body and it's limitations, blah, blah, blah... I mean, today I went to storage and loaded all of my possessions into a truck... I think that demonstration of stamina and strength means something.
Anyhow, the big story is that I am HOME! Yup, right now, I am clicking away on my computer as Liz is cooking me a Thanksgiving dinner at our house in Berkeley! How awesome is that?
Moving in on Thanksgiving Day... what a way to feel at home. I'm happy :)
Anyhow, I have to prepare the corn now! Happy Turkey Day, everyone!

Good Times! A few beers never hurt anyone. Enjoy.
I am so happy to see you enjoying life again. I should be uncontagious in a few days, and then I want to visit!
I was doing some reading of Hodgkins Blogs, and found an entry of a woman who, 2 weeks after her first ABVD treatment, went to the ER for extreme pain, abdominal in this case, and received Delaudid. This sounds a lot like your two experiences with sudden unexplained paid after the start of chemo - particularly the first time, with the sternum pain. See her entry here. I think there is an effect which is connected with the early tumor shrinkage which can lead to severe sudden pain. Not something doctors seem to be aware of.
