August 20th 2019

   Well, it has been a while now and the Esophageal Spasms have decreased, not stopped but less than they were. My back is healing well with the use of Bag Balm and I can't remember the name of the other one, but they work. I should have used them this whole time. You MUST make sure before a treatment they are washed off or else the radiation will be much worse.

   I'm slowly gaining my appetite back, I still get sick if I eat a lot. I've been reading on this Imfinzi medication that I will do every other week for a year and it scares me, the list of side effects are as long as chemo, maybe longer. It ain't over yet.

  The CT showed the right tumor that was 6.4 cm is now 3cm and dying. The right side went from 2.8 cm to 12 mm. Imfinzi is supposed to complete the death of the cancer tumors if it doesn't get me first.

  My big toe is still as big as 2 big toes and painful to walk on. I've been rubbing the pain cream on it and it helps.

We took the calves to Newport Livestock so we could buy the rest of the hay we need, but that was a pipe dream. They brought little and way short of what we were expecting so I think I'll go back to Mascott, but when I'm able to help with the loading of the cows.

   Denise says I'm still to avoid contact with people, not happening, lol. Tomorrow I'll unload the hay.

   And today, I am drinking my first Dr Pepper in weeks with making it flat.
