Hi guys!

You guys rock! Getting another $700 is great!

Here is my next weekly report.

Getting off the steroids while doing a chemo cycle is interesting... I had brain splitting headache during the movie day. Slept whole day long and didn't feel like going anywhere that night, sorry. And now I am experiencing different symptoms but hey I am getting better!

That's all my news

Since I couldn't make the movie night I decided to Double Up to help RD reach his goal. Anyone else?

Kick Ass Andre.

77 people have donated and we are almost at $6000! Thanks everyone. Just over two weeks to go so let's make a final push to get to our goal of $7500. Please email to friends and post on Facebook. It is very good odds that you will win a great prize, you are donating to cancer research and most important of all you are showing your support for Andrey.

"The BC Cancer Agency is the provincial organization responsible for cancer control on behalf of all BC residents. It is a broad and diverse community of health professionals and specialists based in five regional centres across the province. In a single year, Agency staff will guide more than 23,000 British Columbians through their cancer experience – from prevention and screening, diagnosis and treatment, patient support and counseling, to rehabilitation or end-of-life-care.

Uniquely, Agency scientists work side-by-side with their clinical colleagues, sharing questions and answers, as well as a constant focus on the best possible outcome for the patient.  This approach has helped British Columbians experience the lowest cancer incidence rates and mortality rates in Canada. This close collaboration has helped attract world-class researchers to British Columbia and is the basis for what has been described as a “golden age” of cancer research.

The progressive research of the BC Cancer Agency brings hope to cancer patients in BC and beyond with each new discovery. Improvements to care are a direct result of exciting new research evidence. Change is happening, and research is leading the way. Together, with our donor partners in discovery, the Agency is constantly celebrating groundbreaking research achievements. Read about the latest discoveries."

Hi guys!

Well this time I do have something to report. I am sick, not like puke sick like after or during chemo, but some sort of flu which is no fun. It's been like that for about a week. So instead of getting ready to start working I am fighting this stupid flu. Makes me sad.

And I do have another 5 chemo cycles to go through. :twisted:

That's all my news

Hi Andrei. I haven't met you but I feel a connection as I have a benign brain tumour that's been treated successfully. I found it very hard to give myself permission to rest and heal. Be gentle with yourself and I'm sure you'll be better soon.

Hi guys!

here is my another weekly status report.

It took me a while to get sick from my flu sickness :) so I decided to just live my life as I used to do. Doesn't work as I would expect it :) But better than just sitting in four walls being trapped like in a prison.

This week I didn't do much, just getting ready for the next chemo and doing top secret x-max errands :D

That's all my news.

Cheers
Andrei

It's the last day to donate and get added to the list for the prizes. Thank you to eveyone that donated!

84 people raised $6440 !!

Of course you can still donate after today, you just won't be added to the prize list.

We'll do the draw next Saturday January 7. Not sure if there will be a get together or not, I guess it depends on interest and weather 8)
