TMZ reporting daughter onboard. On way to practice.

BuffloSoldier

Man. Another lifetime.

BuffloSoldier

There’s such a thing?

BuffloSoldier

So...any chance for a newbie to get the lay of the land?

Tonight #thetankisreal.

No es bueno.

Last night was the first night in about 10 days we had a quiet one. She's been 9.5/10 on the moodyometer.

BuffloSoldier

Kane down.

Also, the Sabres even can't tank right.

An update: two of eight done, hair's gone, chemo definitely sucks. Puts her out of commission mostly from the treatment on Wednesday to the following Tuesday. No nausea, lots of drugs to counteract that, but headaches come from that stuff.

The time in the curve now (a week past the treatment ...

BuffloSoldier

Are you a point guard?

You got traded.

BuffloSoldier

On a side note...WAGS? Woof.

BuffloSoldier

A) Oy vey.

B) Nope...not surprised by any of this. Youth soccer in this country, by far, is the most fucked up.

BuffloSoldier

Nothing about youth soccer in the USA will surprise or shock me.

SO many horror stories.

BuffloSoldier

Fox gets the 2026 World Cup here in the US without having to bid.

So fucking incestuous. Likely a "make up" for a potential '22 World Cup move.

BuffloSoldier

I don't like it either, and that's as a Sabres fan. Gave up way too much in Armia/Lemieux.

BuffloSoldier

I'll take the hometown James Madison University, since SU is banned from tournament play.

She's resting at home; we thought she'd be able to go into work today, but that didn't come about.

She blogged about it last night, if anyone's interested.

BuffloSoldier

Her oncologist has more testing but we're stuck for eight weeks with the original/"basic" plan. By that point, further tests will either show up positive (and she'll get the her2 chemo) or ambivalent (and she'll be denied outright or granted on appeal--former seems much more likely).

BuffloSoldier

Wife's insurance denied what her oncologist wanted because of the lack of a purely positive test. Back to the original chemo treatment plan, which is more often, harsher, and less effective short and long term.

BuffloSoldier

Port went well. They had to put a tube from the port into a vein at her neck because they couldn't find a good one around the port site.

BuffloSoldier

Chemo on Wednesday.

Tomorrow is EKG/blood tests/surgery to put port in, but that's just a half day.

Wednesday is a full day of fun. Her chemo is now once every three weeks.

BuffloSoldier

Already talk of a Bills @ Pats season opener in September.

(steels himself for the hate to come)

BuffloSoldier

For.... (behind on social media, etc).

Fuck. Fuck. Fuckedity fuck fuck.

BuffloSoldier

Thanks, Swampers. You know who you are.

Oncologist today.

BuffloSoldier

At least he's a good recruiter?

BuffloSoldier

Wife's family is invading (I kid) this weekend--indoor water park day trip on Saturday, Super Bowl (visitors should be gone by game time) on Sunday, no appointments (for the time being) on Monday, port implanted (30ish minute surgery) on Tuesday, and probably the start of chemo later in the week.

BuffloSoldier

Ok, after thinking it over and a few people chiming in, here it is.

MRI/CAT/Bone scan day. Woooooooooooohoooo...

BuffloSoldier

I may be mistaken, but isn't that X cents on the dollar?

Edit: isn't it unpaid?

BuffloSoldier

If after the Montreal/RB trade, the latter doesn't pull Sasha Kljestan back to MLS, no es bueno.

BuffloSoldier

My aforementioned 10-20% think putting in a link here at the Swamp is a bit pandering. If someone finds it via Facebook and wants to chip in, go for it.

BuffloSoldier

She's gotten a lot of that at work, but there's a lot of doubt in her mind when the rubber hits the road (ie, how her subordinates will do with her workload, how much they'll support her personally by dropping in, texting, calling, etc).

BuffloSoldier

She is a Director of Residence Life at a small private college. Her boss, which just happened a couple of months ago, is the Dean of Students.

BuffloSoldier

A few updates (for those few not reading my wife's blog) :

1. Radiation is now a given; it spread to one lymph node, and that's all she wrote on that. Next 24-36 hours will likely provide, through a bone scan, MRIs and CAT scans, whether it's spread. It's not expected to have, per what the docs ...

BuffloSoldier

I really want to know who the alternatives were to Raylan. They keep saying others were tested, etc, but never seen any actual names.

BuffloSoldier

So, some good news, some bad (see the blog).

Looks like chemo begins first week of February. Next week is full of consults, etc. First surgery is an insertion of a port into her chest. Chemo, then a break, then a surgery (likely a double mastectomy), then depending on the results of results in the ...

BuffloSoldier

There is no expiration date save the desire to use this as a method of paying bills for my wife's treatment/a slush fun for a trip to Disney when this is all behind us.

BuffloSoldier

Trying to avoid the buy/resell option because of the time involved. I have no idea how much of my time is going to be taken up by my wife's recovery plus Calla plus my real job. :)
