Travis Tuesday

Half way there…

Author Bio Pic

Hi All...

I hope this finds you well. Did you get outside today (for you NE peeps)? It's pretty special what some sunshine can do...that and the energy spent outside by my twins :) They LOVE it that the 'sun came back'!

I'm just past half-way with my radiation treatments; 17 down, 16 to go. I have to admit it feels really good knowing I'm on the downhill with this thing...but it's really starting to take it's toll on me. I started losing my hair last week and it's pretty noticeable. You can really tell where the radiation is entering/exiting my noggin. I still can't sleep for more than a couple hours at a time...and when I wake up, it's usually for good. Nothing like starting your day at 2 or 3 am ;) Enough complaining....it could be so much WORSE.

Well...I'm exhausted and am going to sign off for the night. Reminder: MAY 15th, BARRY'S BAR & GRILL...more details to come via FB and travistuesday.com.

Until next time...be well and happy....TB

  4. Travis,
    Jim Cassandro sent me your website and told me about your condition. I was stunned. It is so encouraging to read about how you’ve come through all this and all the love and support you’ve received from family and friends! Now you can add one more to that list as I am praying for you to have a rapid and full recovery! Wish I could be there with you to celebrate in May, but I’m sure you will have many supporters there with you and your family to cheer you on.

    Take care and hang in there!
    Kim

  5. Travis,
    It’s great to hear from you each time you write something. We are so happy and thankful that you are doing well. Enjoy the beautiful weather this week!
    Dori, Scott, and kids.

  6. Congrats on being half-way done with the treatments!

  7. Downhill half of treatment sounds like a good place to be! Hope you get some rest when you can, and remember back to wakeful nights with the tiny new twins when you’re up at random times.

  8. Who needs hair! We miss you at work!

  9. So glad to hear you continue to do well! Wish we could be there to celebrate with ya’ll at Barry’s!

  10. Hair grows back – what’s important is that you’re still here. Glad to hear you’re halfway done! :)

  11. I hope the second half goes by even faster! Enjoy the rest of the week (52, 53, 56!!).

  12. I soaked in some Vit. D today too! Keep up the hard work T! And check out that moon and stars if you can’t sleep at night….I find it to be just as nice as the sun sometimes.
    Give Karla a big ol kiss from me :) ~J

  13. Yeah for being over half of the way done!!! Ready for a party!
