Summer?

I just have to show you this picture I took in New York. At least the summer starts over there.

New York

I have been in New York for a few days. The food is amazing, but the beefs are a little big if you ask me. I only ate half of what I got.

First meeting

Yesterday we had the first meeting of our organization, that covers Oslo and a huge area around. Very exiting!

Sundvolden Hotel

This weekend I was at Sundvolden Hotel with the Brain Tumor Association. We learned a lot and met a lot of people with the same problem as me.

333 Miles

Today I had my last day of skiing this semester. 333 miles (563 kilometer). I am going to beat it next year...

Copenhagen

This weekend my wife and I was in Copenhagen. It was a present from my friends. Pretty amazing.

"The Brain Tumor Club"

Last week I was elected the Chairman of the Board in the Oslo and Akershus brain tumor organization. This will bee very exiting.

500

I made it! 500 km (310 miles) of skiing this season.

Bike

Yesterday I was back on my bike. It felt good.

In the winter I need:
- Weels with spikes
- Lights in the front and back
- A tool to remove salt
- Oil that does not freeze
- Bicycle cap under the helmet
- Biking shoes with winter cover
- Real thick gloves
- Windproof jacket
- Awesome sunglasses

This ended up costing more than the bike...

Closer and closer to 500

Yesterday I reached 400 km on my skis. I only have 100 left before I reach 500. This is silver from last year, now I am going for GOLD!

Day 0

Went to the hospital this morning and finally got some good news: we do not need more chemotherapy. 8 months are finally over. I celebrated with a cinnamon bun at Kobberhaugen (12miles/20km on skiing).

Day 237, A year has gone

In February last year I had my operation number 3. Now there are 2 and a half year since since it all started. A lot has happened. There will be another operation one day, but I hope I can wait a little longer this time.

Day 230, MR

Yesterday I had an MR. To check if I need more chemotherapy or if we can give up after round 8. They will tell me in about a week.

Day 220, Day 3 Round 8

- "Look at the weather! Let's go skiing!" the jacket said to me.
- "I'm sorry" I answered, "the chemotherapy is holding me back right now"

The numbers right now: 155miles (250km). Half-way from 310miles (500km).

Day 219, Day 2 Round 8

Round 8. I hope it is the last one. For this time...

Day 215, Grandfather

My grandfather is turning 85 years today. The both of us like biking. This picture is over 30 years old and we look different today. I often think about this time in my life.

Day 206, Back on the Gym

Was on the Ullevål Hospital today to work out. There I can use a new and free gym room. I don't have to pay a hundred dollars a month anymore, this is free. The only thing - you need to have cancer.

Day 200

Day 200 with chemotherapy. In the middle of round 7 and 8. It feels like a long time.

Day 193, Day 4 Round 7

Here I am every day. It has been like this for a week. I have a cold in addition to the chemotherapy. Seen on TV, a lot and read some pages in a book, but the thing I think the most of is about all the kilometers of skiing I am missing. I have been stuck on 230 miles (373 km) for more than a week.

Day 190, Day 1 Round 7

Started round 7 today. So now I am mixing cold medicine and chemotherapy pills.

Day 181, New year - new possibilities

One year has gone and much has happened. I've had one operation, radiotherapy and now I am still on chemotherapy. What the next year will bring, I don't know. But to get some positive news would be nice.
