Actually perhaps we didn't make this clear but the raffle is separate from the fund raiser. The raffle draw entry is $20, everything above is purely voluntary tax deductable donation to charity since you don't receive any extra tickets and if I read the entry requirements correctly :idea: :wink:
confirmed by BCCA to me today :D thx Dani :!:

BWD: I understood that there were no draw prizes for donating, just that we were going to have an after party and that there would be Door Prizes at this party!! So receipts would be available for this concept.

First of all I have to tell you guys you are amazing! $4000 in just a few days of the fundraiser! Thats pretty good! I think we should update the goal up to $7500 and if we pass that by Xmas that would be great!

OK here is my update.

First of all I am off my dual radio-chemo cycle! Woo hoo!!! Getting better!

On the other hand week 6 hit me pretty hard compare to the others. Not the treatment itself but rather the accumulation stuff. I couldn't believe I had to spend two days at home just sleeping and recovering! But now I am starting to get back on.

I am getting off steroids. Hopefully it'll help to reduce my face size and the uniboob :) I started walking around town again! And most importantly I started doing some mental strength exercise. I have to tell you that is not what it used to be! I am doing some chess easy task stuff. Before my treatment I used to do them in a speedy mode with 100% result. Not I have to think and the result is only about 80%! Oh well.... I guess if you dont use the brain muscle it goes weak as any other ones.

Other than that I have my strength recovery plan, and I am waiting to start my chemo sessions in about three weeks.

That's all my news.
Cheers

Andrei

Hi guys!

It's me again with my weekly update. So as I mentioned earlier I am off my second round of treatment and now I am getting off steroids. Well I have to say it is not that easy. I am weaker than I was during the treatment, barely making myself to walk every day, but I am sure it is going to pass at some point. Still doing my brain exercises with not much of improvement :( but I am sure it's going to pass as soon as I get my physical strength back.

That's all my news
Cheers
