A Day In The Life Of Rocket

[akboom87]

Glad to hear you’re eating good and getting around and feeling better! Getting to go outside is a great thing also!!

 

[pfresh]

It’s been a minute but I wish you all the best rocket . You have always been a positive voice on this forum and I hold you in high regard .

 

[LeanEngineer]

They let me outside today for a 30 minute walk, this is the first time in about a week I have had shoes on let alone been outside. On the way back to my room I discovered the cafeteria, Pineapple Upside Down one of my favorites

Glad to hear you're getting in the vitamin D from the sun and calories from the cake!

Chemotherapy kicked my butt yesterday after, I got very tired and disoriented, but thankfully not sick. Today’s regimen should be the same. On to the important stuff, what did Richard G have to eat? Italian Wedding Soup, Potato Crusted Cod, Green Beans, Red Grapes & Cottage Cheese with Peaches. No food or water for me today till after my 11am Bone Marrow Biopsy

They tell me if I do get released today I can start back up my TRT at 100mg of Test C per week. This should be fine I do not believe I am going to be building any new muscle for awhile but I would like to maintain what I have. I have been trying to figure out what excerises I can do and should do. I think the treadmill EOD is in the cards and light leg extensions, leg curls, calf’s and neck work.

Excited to hear all of this! Hopefully you don't have too bad a reaction to the chemo at all and feel good the whole time. When my cousin went through his rounds he was okay during but lost a lot of weight and felt bad for weeks after so hopefully none of that nonsense. Good news is here we are 3 years later and no signs of his cancer returning.

Great news for your cousin, I love any possible vibe! Yesterday was my strongest does, and it must have worked, they are canceling my Chemo for today and sending me home. I do feel a little light headed/foggy today and it’s hard to consintrate, even read, but if that is the worse side effect I’ll take it!

So will there be any more chemo from home or is this it? My cousin had to get it for weeks so that might be why he had more residual effects. Either way a clean bill of health is the goal!

 

[Rocket3015]

I will be getting more Chemo just as an out patient much closer to home

TRT will be a great thing to prevent wasting - big thing is never use HGH, Mk677, or any GH peptides in your body from here on out. THOSE can greatly encourage present cancer cell proliferation, and are off the table forever for you.

It doesn’t cause cancer, but growth hormone can exacerbate any that is present.

This is good advice here.
It’s great they are sending you home. Even though you seemed to enjoy the meals and made the most out of it, I know you are ready for home.

@Hyde Exactly my thoughts to a T

 

[Rocket3015]

My wife and daughter busted me out at about 4:30 we got a room across the street at a hotel, just had dinner and will drive the 3-4 hour trip home in the am. It feels great to spend some time alone with them!

 

[totalpackage]

Good to hear your out of the hospital and able to spend quality time with the family.
I hope everything goes well and just stay positive and mentally strong and you'll be back
to your normal self before you know it.

 

[gphagan1]

That’s great….just relax and enjoy the ride home and time with your family.

On February 17, I check myself into the hospital weighting 199lbs, I was bloated and could not breathe, this morning I weighted 169lbs. I feel so much better !!

Wow, 30 lbs of water basically, no wonder you weren’t able to breathe…..that’s amazing. God is good, that’s great you’re feeling better.

My joints feel fine, but I have not been doing very much, so I have been taking it easy on them. I am going to check in with Dr. on March 6th and see what training I might be able to do. I do not want to hamper my recovery in any way!

 

[SkRaw85]

Wow! That was water Buffalo status! Glad to see you returning back rocket

It was not pleasant !!

Well, I guess the secret to weight loss really was pineapple upside down cake all along!

 

[gphagan1]

Yeah that much water puts a lot of pressure on your heart and lungs, not to mention the edema in the legs, that would be miserable.
Glad they they came up with a good plan of action, so hopefully you won’t have to go through that again.

That would be awesome if that was the secret. I love pineapple upside down cake….just to be able to eat it on a cut or bulk, yeah buddy.

I'm really curious to see if you feel any positive effects from carrying 30 less lbs or if you're now severely dehydrated and need to put a few of those back on...?

do you think the bloating has maybe been going on much longer than you realized? I think I mentioned my buddy who had gained like 40lbs and just thought he was fat but later found out he had a yeast infection in his gut causing massive bloat for like 2 years.

it's crazy how fast you turned this ship around, addressed things, got the right doctors, and started making great progress. what a roller coaster Feb was for you. What did you say, 2 more treatments? So you knock that out and you still have all of 2023 to hit those goals you had laid out last month. it's gonna be a great year!
