Woke up around 0130 and tried for a couple of hours to get back to sleep.  Barhroom breaks and lower leg cramps contributed to the unrest. Finally got to sleep after 0400 and opened my eyes around 0600.  
Had my tea, coffee, and some juice along with vitamins/supplements. Dogs fed and took out to backyard to finish their business.  
Plans today do not include cycling.  Thought riding the bike might be causing the bleeding and wanted to test my theory on a potential cause.  Will do some light strength training and walk the neighborhood. Will try to consume more calories.  This morning's weigh-in showed no change.  That is a positive step.

What?!?  I didn't quite understand and said I'm ready for more chemo ... let's kill this thing inside me.  He explained no and that chemo was no longer ne...

Not doing well documenting my journey. Hope I can get fixed. Another day of low 20s 🥶 Decided it was time to bring a bike out with the goal of riding very soon! Too cold and had to bring out the heat lamps on Monday and Tuesday night.  Got down to at least 19°F. Worked a little outside.   Achieved plenty of walking and trainer miles this week.  Now time to rest in preparation for Friday's infusion therapy.  That's all for now. Anxiety creeping in.
