Breeze

Made it to the hotel (Thanks again for the car Steph & John!), and I'm resting. Getting all if my medical liquids through security was a complete joke (knock on wood - I don't want to jinx myself for the future). Honestly, I just put my cooler bag through the x-ray machine. I was armed with my doctor's note, but didn't need it. They didn't even go into the bag. They unzipped the top and zipped it right back up. It was the fastest security screening I've EVER had. Ever. I was traveling with the following liquids: 1.1 liter container, 0.5 liter container x 2, and three 5.5 ounce containers. What the heck? I watched a different guy have to throw out his toothpaste. Weird. Very weird.

Anyway, thought I would share that info for my friends with liquid supplements. I'll let you know if anything changes (if I run into problems), but for now, at least you know you can bring what you need. Yay!! One less thing to worry about :)

PS I had a bagel for lunch. Yum! Carbs are sooo gooood.

Medical Liquids


I've got all my pills, all of my liquid supplements (even the venom), in my fancy new travel cooler, and I'm ready for my flight to NYC for my Newcastle shot. I have a doctor's note for my liquids, and I checked the TSA website so I should be fine. It's exciting to think I can keep on my schedule with dosing while traveling.(For the most part anyway, I refuse to do nasal venom drops on the plane.)

I am so grateful that I'm able to travel solo, and that I'm getting these shots. I have a few questions for additional supplements/medications for Dr C. Hopefully, he'll be as excited as I am about the info.

It's always tricky with glioma cells. If you hit them too hard with treatments they morph into more agressive tumors. But if you don't hit them, they turn into more aggressive tumors. It's all such a guessing game. You never quite know what to do to maintain, or keep things at bay. We're always searching for that fine line. I'll never give up, though. There are people doing research all over the world, all I need to do is get my spider web out to other fighters, other researchers, and other problem solvers to bring it all together into on concise plan. An ever evolving plan, but a plan nonetheless.
