That's great news! Glad today's a good day and hoping they start to come more frequently.
Space watching, check. Glad to hear today's been good. Here's to many more as good and better!
Yar!!! You been playing any games, ian?
Actual ferrets are quite good at watching spaces!
Since I borrow their name for an internet handle, I will do my best to follow their example in this regard. Glad you're feeling better, and I hope you get some full on normal time before the next infusion.
Glad to hear things are going well And gaming is a great distraction for sure!
Dude. Stop apologizing and kick that cancer's ass. This thread exists for you to vent, and people are reading and responding to help.
Awesome about the convenience of the tube, and the reduction in the amount of fluid. Keep going!
Glad to hear it's going well. Keep up the good work and get better! And enjoy Thanksgiving.
Convenient as it is to be able to finally drain myself at home and avoid the discomfort and inconvenience of having it done at the hospital, I'm ultimately looking forward to the day where I don't have to have a tube coming out of my abdomen.
Good updates and great progress....Keep it up!
OK, I gotta ask— when draining fluid at home, how does one dispose of the fluid? Drain? The John?

Bottled & aged?
Yay!
Oh, and good to spot a few of you in IRC yesterday, too. I still haven't worked out a good means of doing IRC on the iPad. When I'm back to sitting at my desk for computer time, it's a different story, but for now, IRC appearances are going to be spotty and involve a lot of disappearing. Please don't take it as me being rude, just think of it as me being sick and a bit lazy. :)
IRC999 is free and not completely terrible, and if you get sick of that LimeChat is five bucks and the overall best.
It's awesome to hear that you can be at home more often now. It seems that you're much more comfortable than you've been since the start of your chemo.
It's good that you're making an effort to stand up. Saying that, have you considered putting a chair in your bathtub? Just a way to sit down and shower if need be. (As for the chair, I'd suggest a wingback.)

Or a La-Z-Boy
I'm pretty sure space is an issue when it comes to putting a chair in a bathtub.
There are bathing chairs you can get at the drug store or a medical supply place that fit in a bathtub.

I agree - vent away! We all like knowing how you're getting on, and sharing what's going on is probably a good part of kicking cancer's ass because it helps keep you sane and connected.
I've got my fingers crossed for more normal to head your way (and less discomfort and unwanted fluids...).
For what it's worth a lower dose of chemo made a huge difference in my quality of life bringing it into acceptable level while still allowing me to continue treatment. That said your chemo drug is a different drug and everyone responds differently to this stuff don't feel bad if you just need a longer break from it.
That's great that the treatment is working, dude. Especially that it's working well enough that you can afford a moment's reprieve.
Love hearing good news!! Continue to kick the asses of all assy things in the general assy vicinity while there are asses to kick assingly. Ass.
Great news, Ian, keep it up! And I hope you have a good Turkey Day.
Really good to hear that things are looking up!
I hope you're able to eat a good-sized plateful of turkey over the holidays.
Great news, Ian! Kick that cancers ass!
I suggest playing the Double Dragon Neon soundtrack while ass-kicking.
Taste:
