Entry September 8, 2004, Wednesday

We're off to the doctor's today for a follow-up appointment. I'm due to get my monthly shot of ... of... of some drug. I've had so many different drugs injected and ingested and inserted that I can't remember half their names anymore.

The drug I'm getting today is to help my bones heal and get stronger. Since the cancer had attacked my bones, it's important to give them bones a boost. The insurance company will only pay for this drug once every 28 days. Not 27 days, so don't try to get a healing drug into your system early.

Every time I think of it, I can't help but think of the movie 28 Days Later. I wonder if there's a connection. Maybe I don't want this shot after all.

Also, Lyn and I attended our 2nd cancer support groups at the Wellness Community (http://www.twcp.org/). So far they have been wonderful. Since I'm the only person we know that has cancer, it's good to speak with other people in similar situations.

By the way, I'm not only the only case of Sertoli that they've ever had there (no surprise) but I'm also the only case of testicular cancer that they've ever had there. Just goes to show you how rare I am.
