Praying that they can get you on a stable plan, and this treatment goes well. It’s great news that the white blood cell count is continuing to drop. At least what they are doing is working.🙏

I'm really glad that its helping you.

I use Stress & Anxiety Support daily and think its a major help and a great example of a great product that doesn't get nearly enough talk and attention unfortunately.

Man the original NOXplode was the shitt! I loved that stuff. Two scoops of that and you could hear colors!
AMEN! I think it was my first pre-workout and I never got the "Xlpoding effect" from it so I loved it.
My favorite sound!
Mine too!!! LOL

I'm sorry to hear about the insurance thing - insurance companies suck. After my accident, it was deemed medically necessary by a specialist and a surgeon for me to do physical therapy 5 days a week in order to be able to potentially avoid future surgeries and to try to learn how to walk again. My insurance didn't cover it and denied the appeal after the fact, which in turn put a bill on me here recently that has just contributed to wrecking my life financially. It's crazy how you pay into something for so long but then when you need it, they do everything they can to screw you over.

Man that’s terrible…. I hate all the hoops the medical industry makes you jump through, it’s truly ridiculous. The Doctors are at the mercy of the pharmaceutical and insurance companies, and all they care about is the money, just look at the cost of medication and insurance. Then if the Doctor doesn’t fill out the forms the way they like it, that’s the insurance company’s excuse to deny or delay, all because of money.
Sorry your going through this….praying it’s approved quickly.🙏
no way bro, you got a whole swole army of bros praying for you ;)💪
Amen to that.💪

I got a good nights sleep last night and elected to skip my workout this morning and get a little extra rest. I think it was the right choice, I'm feeling rested and pretty good !!

That's crazy, hope the insurance thing gets cleared up - for you and Steve!

FWIW, I know there are a lot of patient advocacy and non-profit orgs that help cancer patients with cost of medications/helping through the process. Whatever drug you're being put on, I'd take a look at the company website and see if they offer similar assistance. Also, American Cancer Society. And then of course tumor type specific groups as well.

Leg today for me as well!
I got mine done yesterday, so happy to have that one done. It is very daunting to go into a hard leg workout but they are also some of my favorite too because of the feeling of accomplishment once completed!

I was feeling very mellow yesterday when I got home from work, so I called the Insurance Company and had a very nice conversation, and we did get a few things worked out.

I'm glad to hear that. I've been trying to have nice conversations with mine for the last several months - I think psychotic rage more explains my feelings towards mine right now. Got hit with an 8k bill for physical therapy after that fact that I absolutely cannot afford to pay bc the insurance company apparently would rather pay 100's of thousands in additional surgery than pt and doesn't regard me being able to walk properly again as medically necessary lol.

That is one thing I am happy about we get 60 visits for PT a year, and don't have to have a reference. I have no idea how much the company pays them for it but I know our portion is for damn sure not cheap!

Notes; I felt very disconnected from my workout today, but I also felt like I really needed to get it done, so I worked my way through it and I'm glad I did. I still had a bit of "Brain Fog" most of the day but felt pretty good. I will be glad when I can cut some of the scripts out, I just don't like the way they make me feel. I have been very hungry the last few days and so I have been eating a in a surplus, but I feel my body is telling me it needs some extra nutrition ?? I have a meeting with my cancer Doctor on Tuesday morning and my next rounds of Chemo should start on Wednesday. I am looking forward to getting things underway and trying to get better!!

I did not keep track but I bet I ate at least 3000 calories, I was not able to eat enough to feel full. But this morning my weight is the the same and my waist is tight ????? Not a bad problem to have I guess ??

Notes; I had a pretty good workout this morning, the reps were all over the place and my endurance seemed different on every set, but I did what I could and felt pretty good after wards! One of my wife's life long girl friends lives a few doors up the street, her husband had a "Cardiac Event" yesterday and she said the only thing he was worried about was going to the hospital and not getting the lawn mowed first, so I went up and mowed his lawn so he could feel better, than I got mine done. It is amazing how tired I get these days, I don't like it at all! But I am just thankful I can still do stuff. My Grand Daughter spent the night with us last night and it was so much fun watching a 10 year old enjoy life. We went out for Hibachi, went to Lowes, she said she like Lowes because the isles are wide and she can skip through the store. After that a trip for some Ice Cream !! Life is Good ! Everyone enjoy your Easter, thank the lord for the gifts you have and hug your family tight !! He is Risen !!

That's a sure sign the body was needing it! Don't forget although you may not be burning as many calories through exercise you are burning a lot in your body's efforts to recover from your illness and the treatments that are going to kill it.

If feel better knowing it's not a permanent thing !!

Yesterday's work out was quite amusing to me, I can only work my left bicep so that is what I was doing, but my left arm was so pumped and vascular, forearm veins bulging, bicep pumped like crazy and I thought my left arm looked 2 inches bigger than my right. I'll take the gains where they come, I will have plenty of time to even things out in the future !!

I'll take the gains where they come, I will have plenty of time to even things out in the future !!
I’m not positive where I read it but I could’ve swore someone said somewhere that the counter body part whatever it is will receive benefit even if it’s not being worked out? Obviously not the same benefit but a certain % of it

If feel better knowing it's not a permanent thing !!

Yesterday's work out was quite amusing to me, I can only work my left bicep so that is what I was doing, but my left arm was so pumped and vascular, forearm veins bulging, bicep pumped like crazy and I thought my left arm looked 2 inches bigger than my right. I'll take the gains where they come, I will have plenty of time to even things out in the future !!
I know my left arm shrank 1 inch within two months of my shoulder surgery, but it has been caught back up since January. So don't worry about getting it back, I am back up almost an inch from then. You probably haven't lost nearly as much as me though because I wasn't allowed to lift or hold anything over a pound with my biceps for the whole 2 months.

Yes Sir that is correct. It helps keep the neural drive to the injured side somehow, and improves recovery time. I trained my right biceps for maintenance the whole time I was out from my surgery.

Notes; I still feel like I can't get enough to eat?? I had a nice talk with my nurse today, and I was telling her how tired I am all the time. After she explained to me that my Hemoglobin (10.8) and my Hematocrit (35) were very low and I have very little oxygen in my blood, it all made sense.



Hemoglobin
I also would have been perfectly fine if someone told me stress is exhausting!
