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.

Day 30 of 30

Today was the final day. The radiation is complete. Now I hope that my hair grows back quickly.

Two days left

Now there are only two days left of the radiation therapy. It will be good to have it over, I've been really tired the last few days. All hair has been lost on both sides of my head, so I shaved the rest of it too. It's strange how this was not a problem in the first three weeks, but now has taken over my life more and more.

Radiotherapy on me

Monday April 2nd I brought my camera to film my radiotherapy. There is a tumor in my brain. I was operated in February, but they could not remove everything. The radiotherapy will hopefully remove the rest of it. In the film i cut between two cameras but the time is held like reality.
