Home again, home again.. made it home to the frozen tundra of Whitefish on Wednesday, the 23rd. It's time for some R & R. Not the whiskey, but rest and relaxation. Clancy doesn't feel as physically exhausted as when he returned from chemo in November. That may be attributed to the time he spent on the treadmill in January trying to build up his endurance for this last go 'round. However, he knows he still has lots of climbing before he's out of this hole. He has trouble sleeping and overall feels lethargic. Things don't smell or taste right. At least the bizarre dreams have stopped waking him up.
He's survived the longest stretches of intensive chemo in the program and will be on maintenance chemo for the next 18 months. The next trip to Salt Lake for tests will be in late April. Clancy is grateful for your support throughout this ordeal. It has been overwhelming and motivating for him to hear of all the folks pulling for his recovery; Hot Springs Savages, members of the MHP and public safety world, friends & family, friends of friends and even those dang Canadians. Your daily support is something he will never take lightly.
Of course, Caregiver Extraordinaire Laura deserves a huge "thank you" for her contribution. We even made it through transplant #2 in time for her to be home for her birthday!
Again, thank you everyone.
Hang in there, my friend. You are in my prayers daily.
