I've been thinking of ways and things I can do to give back. I plan on putting in some time with the Windsor Essex Regional Cancer Center Foundation, as they have done so much for us. Also to anyone out there looking to help here's an idea, you could purchase tickets on the Canadian Cancer Society Lottery ( http://lottery.cancer.ca/index.asp ) helping a good cause and a chance to win prizes too! If your not interested in the prizes you could send me the ticket, we could sure use a break and a chance on this end! You could also donate to the Windsor Essex Regional Cancer Center Foundation ( http://www.windsorcancerfoundation.org ) Again a great organization that does great things for our Center and for those who use it.
Then there is my Facebook activity, sharing my story there and help others in anyway I can. I really do believe that sharing your story gives comfort those just beginning their journey as well as those well into their journey. It let's you know your not alone and someone else is going through what you are going through, very comforting to compare notes and stories.
On the medication switch front, I am now into stage 2 which is 2, 300mg Gabapentin capsules 3 times a day, this will be for four days, I then will be contacting the Dr.'s office to get the ok to move up to 3, 300mg capsules 3 times a day. The past week has not been pleasant with regards to the CIPN.
Brenda has had another of her attacks. This last one about 2 hrs long. The test date is not coming fast enough! Boy time drags when your waiting for something urgent.
Roger Waters, The Wall LIVE! is coming up this month, (http://vimeo.com/15218553 )man, I can't wait for this one. Again thanks to Brenda's Uncle Tom for the tickets this is definitely a historic event in my books, I will try to get pics, maybe I can find a good camera to borrow, mine does not seem to work well indoors or in dark settings. We are also going to see Cirque du Soliel in November, ( http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/en/shows/dralion/default.aspx ), Hope everyone is well no matter where you are in your journey. xxx
