Day 43, work out

I work out to keep in shape. If I did just stay at home on the sofa, everything would feel a lot worse.

Day 29, day 1 of round 2

Today I started round 2. It has taken some of my energy and I have had to cancel appointments. Now I feel a little better and I hope the next few days will be more ok.

Day 28, the summer is over

The summer is over. Now I am back in Oslo and the holiday season has turned into everyday life. Had a meeting with the doctor at the Norwegian Radium Hospital today and tomorrow I start day 1 of chemotherapy number 2. What should I call tomorrow do you think? Day 1 or 29 ...

Day 13, live a double life

I feel I live a normal life, but not. I live a life where everything is nice and normal on one side. On the other side, there is always something that sets limits and that means I can not live as I want. Today is day 13 and I'm tired at the same time I want a bike ride.

22 days before next round

The chemotherapy had the last day on monday. Now it's 22 days before I start on round two. Had hoped to have a good day today, but have felt pretty sick. We were just entering the boat, and I felt like I was going to throw up.

Day 5 chemotherapy

This is Day 5 of 5, and I'm more tired. It will be nice tomorrow to start the 23 days without chemotherapy and feel having a real summer vacation.

Day 2 chemotherapy

Driving is a challenge - I get nauseated as soon as I sit in the car. Otherwise, I feel a little nausea on and off and have had seizures, both yesterday and today.

Day 1 of chemotherapy

Today is my first day of chemotherapy. I will eat 4 pills every morning for 5 days and then have 23 days' break before the next round. In addition, I take pills against nausea in the morning and evening. I must say that I don't feel much right now, but we will see. The chemotherapy is at least starting.

Three amazing gifts

From my good friends, I got three gifts after I told them I have to enter the cell treatment. My wife and I can choose one of them.
1. Three dinners for two in Oslo: Maaemo, Oscarstreet and the Palace Grill.
2. Weekend for two in Copenhagen, dinner at Noma - the world's best restaurant.
3. Dog!

It looks we choose the Copenhagen tour. Thank you!

Chemotherapy

Unfortunately, I must continue treatment. After surgery and radiotherapy I now start with chemotherapy. There is something up there that will not go away, and that continues to grow. I start next week and will continue over a few months. I thought I could finally relax, but there is one more fight...

Weight

In August 2010 I weighed over 95 kg. Now I am under 80. Where is the limit of weighing too much or too little?

Speech therapist

I now go to a speech therapist once in a week and I think this picture describes it well.

Friends and enemies

This is an interesting building in Oslo. It says; British American Tobacco Norway, University in Oslo and at the end it says: Oslo city Health- and Welfare services. I wonder if they share a lunchroom.

Summer

There was a time in life I did not care so much about a dinner with my mother, father, brother, sister and grandparents around the table. Now it means a lot.
