Wedding bells and dizziness
What an awesome weekend! Ed and I witnessed Bill and Robin get married in a beautiful ceremony on Washington Island (north of Greeenbay.) AND, we got to listen to Chicago beat Minnesota in the last seconds of the game on Sunday while driving through Packer territory.
Ed found, as he calls her, a soul sister in Bill's sister Peggy who is battling cancer as well. We were reunited with a great group of people Ed knows (shocking) through his years at The Edge and Over the Edge. I can't say enough about how fantastic it is when Ed spends time with the people he came to care about from the bar. He gets all glowy and gushy.
Ed did discover that the time to try out a new drug therapy is NOT when you're driving 330 miles through Wisconsin. Ed continues to have some trouble with neuropathy in his hands and feet. The neuropathy is caused by nerves affected during chemo and results in tingling and numbness. He had been taking Cymbalta (an antidepressant with an off-label use as an antineuropathic) but it didn't do much so he was prescribed Neurontin. The Neurontin caused severe dizziness, some double vision, and a headache. So...Ed is waiting for a different solution to the neuropathy.
The oncologist said that Ed was looking great and could get the G-tube out whenever the ENT approves. The onco was a little concerned that Ed continues to have mouth sores but otherwise, he's happy...we're happy.
I'll post again when Ed has some bloodwork done later this week.
Take care!
