Monday, 11/8 -- Looking for a mental lighthouse.

OK, there appears to be one side effect of the VP 16 that I wasn't anticipating. I appear to be in a mental fog.

I went the weekend without making a blog entry. Same excuse as for Thursday's wiff. I just plain forgot.

It makes sense to me that if I were in the routine of making an entry everyday, it would be hard to miss a day. Apparently not.

I know it's the drug. I've been feeling various side effects all week. Nothing severe or dramatic, but annoying just the same. The two big ones are tiredness and fogginess.

We have an appointment tomorrow with the oncologist. Hopefully he'll lower the dosage and I'll come out of this fog. I don't feel like myself when my head is like this. It's important to me to feel like myself again.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but cancer sucks.
