Hi everyone. Thank you for your interest in my condition and the recommendations (and for everything else).
It's amazing how things changed in the last month. I finished the radiation stuff that is supposed to help (best in the continent supposedly) and will do the second round of chemo tomorrow. The daily commute to another city was tiresome but it's all behind me now. Bar the chemo side effects, I will be able to do other stuff and might go back to freelancing.

I also want to thank BobLobLaw again, without his help I wouldn't have started this soon and it might have been too late.

Just a small update. Love you friends, take care of yourselves and good game !

Second round done !
A little sick of course but I'm feeling good emotionally and mentally.
Thank you again to everyone who made this happen, will have some tests after the next round to see how things evolved.

Stay strong man. I just lost my uncle to cancer yesterday. It was discovered too late, so all we could do was wait for the inevitable and make sure he's comfortable. He passed away in his sleep yesterday afternoon.

The point is, you still have hope! Don't give up!

Very grateful to everyone for the support. Felt a little knocked down this week and been sleeping a lot.
Something good happened to me today when a friend presented me to someone who needs an advanced web application. The price he's offering is really good and will help me improve my life conditions a little in the coming months. He's also comprehensive of my situation. I will do my best and over deliver.

Anyway, not a lot happening. I always have you guys in my thoughts and I try to avoid looking into the abyss and keep positive thoughts as much as possible.

Great stuff. Nice to hear about the work opportunity, I'm sure it will be a good experience and hopefully translate to more projects in the future.

Keep your chin up and have an excellent weekend.
