Cancer doesn’t stand a chance now that the Coheed And Cambria family is on Team Hedgehog. It was a coincidence that we had meet-and-greet tickets to see Coheed And Cambria the night before I started chemo. We’d gotten the tickets months ago. It would be Oscar’s seventh time seeing his favorite band, most of whichContinue reading “We’ll Make It If You Believe”

The Truce Is Broken
The most traumatic moment for everyone was the week of the cardiac arrests. However, I still have no memory of it and can only empathize with everyone else. My traumatic moment was the second week of taking the chemo pills and being unable to keep them down, along with my regular medications, knowing each pinkContinue reading “The Truce Is Broken”
The Story So Far
Previously on Team Hedgehog: I managed to survive complications from the first two rounds of chemo, specifically two cardiac arrests and a seizure within 24 hours. The third round of chemo with the “Ood ball” was easier on my body, as was having a port implanted for accessing my veins. My oncologist prioritized recovery beforeContinue reading “The Story So Far”
You’ll Want To See This
I promise I’m excited. It’s been slowly sinking in. We’ve done some celebrating, but I seriously want to do a big party. If it’ll be better to wait for later in the summer after more people have had their chance to get their vaccine, then I’ll wait. Need to find a way to purchase Oscar’sContinue reading “You’ll Want To See This”
The Beginning of The End
12 hours before the results of my most recent blood tests. Anxiety is somewhat high, but I’m too tired to worry. Forgive me for posting this a week late. Thank you, Carl! Bonus video!
April 8th: The End Of Isolation
A few weeks late to post. I have two more videos on the way, but I’ll give you a chance to give me a chance to catch you up while I finish editing them. A dose of spiky goodness.
Kick Start My Heart . . . Twice
Xenomorph? More like Zenomorph. I’ve purchased a few things from this shop. There are buddhas for every fandom. Go check out muckychris.com to see all the amazingly sacriligious designs. Each one is $10 and they are two inches wide at the base. What I woke up to a week after the heart attacks. This isContinue reading “Kick Start My Heart . . . Twice”
How My Chemo Ball Gets Disconnected
I primarily took video of this so it would be easy to remember how to do it at home. I’m sure I’m not the only one who was curious about how it works, so here’s how it works. I appologize in advance for shaky cam the first few minutes.
Ood Balls and A Doctor Who Spoiler
The chemo ball when it’s first attached compared to the Slave Ood in Doctor Who and a free Ood holding it’s brain like they naturally do. All hooked up and enjoying the much easier infusion. I also understand if you read it “odd” ball instead of “Ood” ball. The nasty bruise from the second andContinue reading “Ood Balls and A Doctor Who Spoiler”
Change Of Plans
My veins have been poked and invaded so much lately that they no longer like to behave. One of the nurses was called in to work her magic. She managed to get one in my hand and got me through it without any pain. Kudos to Rebecca in Huntsman Radiology! They gave me the optionContinue reading “Change Of Plans”
