2015 Mid-Year Update | Life and Other Stuff
https://jeremyvleigh.wordpress.com/2015/05/26/2015-mid-year-update
Life and Other Stuff. Positive Stories and Experiences While Living with Carcinoid Cancer. May 26, 2015. May 28, 2015. I figured it was time to give a general update. So, this blog will stray a bit from the storytelling style of previous ones. My current life with Neuroendocrine Cancer seems to be similar to several others that I’ve read. Especially ones with well-differentiated, mid-gut NET. I don’t really look sick. When will I get really sick? I just couldn’t see starting medication just because ....

Life and Other Stuff. Positive Stories and Experiences While Living with Carcinoid Cancer. Sledding On Life’s Hills. May 24, 2015. May 25, 2015. Over the past few years I’ve run into more than just the discovery of having Neuroendocrine Cancer. I also have to deal with other health issues that have had more effect on daily life than the few symptoms that NETs currently cause. I learned, though, that managing them can be a lot like sledding down that big hill in the woods. NOTE: If you are finding this bl...

Life and Other Stuff. Positive Stories and Experiences While Living with Carcinoid Cancer. I miss you, too. May 1, 2015. May 10, 2015. I got a message from my RunKeeper App today. It said, We Miss You! Then it added some motivational phrases: Great fitness habits start with small routines. and Start by getting back out there a few times a week. You’ll see progress in no time! During a walk I thought, What if I ran to that stop sign? By the following year, I had lost 70lbs, and signed up for my first half...

The Boring Tech Guy | Life and Other Stuff

Life and Other Stuff. Positive Stories and Experiences While Living with Carcinoid Cancer. The Boring Tech Guy. April 10, 2015. April 10, 2015. The Commodore VIC-20 was my first PC. I remember my dad and I sitting up late at night typing in the program code in the back of Compute magazine and reaping the reward of a new game or whatever was featured that month. I was never afraid of technology and, although we were poor growing up, we had a lot of exposure to it. What did I think of the MacBook Pro?

Life and Other Stuff. Positive Stories and Experiences While Living with Carcinoid Cancer. Walk For Your Lives! April 1, 2015. April 9, 2015. Thus began my year in 2014. I was told they found a Neuroendocrine tumor (NET) in the terminal ileum. Let the Googling begin. A NET could be benign or malignant. Malignant? That would mean cancer, right? I asked my doctor, “Is this cancer? 8221; To which he replied that it was “cancer-like”. (BTW, it is cancer) Hmmm. I was still in panic mode. On Feb 1, 2014 I had ...

Suspense Just Kills Me | Life and Other Stuff
https://jeremyvleigh.wordpress.com/2015/04/03/suspense-just-kills-me
Life and Other Stuff. Positive Stories and Experiences While Living with Carcinoid Cancer. Suspense Just Kills Me. April 3, 2015. April 9, 2015. Suspense like that just kills me. The outcome seems clear and waiting for it can be so exhausting. It’s probably why I do not like watching movies that are based on real events. I already know the end, why watch and wait 2 hours. They really do not know, but it’s a nice thought. However, that brings us back to “suspense”. This may sound morbid, but I always said...

Life and Other Stuff. Positive Stories and Experiences While Living with Carcinoid Cancer. The Beginning In the End. April 9, 2015. April 9, 2015. As agents of free will we have to make potentially life changing choices everyday. Every choice we make has some affect, either good or bad. In addition, our choices can affect others and influence the decisions they have to make. The responsibility to make good decisions is a weighty one. 8221; Do metastasis metastasize? Over the past couple months, I’v...
