This week has been relatively smooth sailing as far as treatment goes so starting to think about getting back to work and the future. I also dive into the adaptations I've made tomy diet, sleep, meds, etc to aid my recovery as best as I can. The 88 Challenge is fully back on track now, so just 88 per day going forward with additional work sprinkled in on the days I feel good. The 88 Challenge d...

Great to hear you are doing well 😊
Thanks dude, it’s peeled up a bit. I need to do a better job on the physical recovery side… I’m hoping this fundraiser will make me pull my finger out like the January one did.
Thanks for the update. I hope you are doing well and feeling stronger each day. Is it easier to find things to eat that don’t make you feel unwell?
Thanks
Good to see you. Sorry to hear you were so unwell after your first round, fingers crossed your next one won’t be as bad for you. Good luck with the cycle challenge.
Thanks I’m doing better this time around :)
Good to have you back sir. Thanks for the update 👊🏻
Thanks bud, fingers crossed I can keep it up
hey martin! just seen you have a youtube channel of all this. i hope things are going okay. just been reminiscing about school and u were a cool man so i hope things go well for u!
Thanks 🙏 trying to use it to keep people updated when things change. Hasn’t been much to report for a while so a new one is probably overdue. Where you up to in life now? You at uni?
Hang in there dude! You're still moving forward.
Way to persevere dude 👊🏻. The wall walks messed me up too! Really technical WOD to do well in. If you had wall walks but no dubs, you were buggered. If you had dubs but couldn't snatch the weight, you were buggered. Plus the reward for doing well was HSPU! 😂
Wishing you the best in this journey. I am rooting for your success
Thank you so much! Stay subbed for future updates.
Hope it goes ok 👍
thanks
Great job on a tricky wod mate
poor Sheryl 😩
Silly Sheryl! The deep freeze battle between her and Nicole after was pretty intense 😂
Following your Journey mate, on a similar one different cancer almost finished my brain radiation 21/32 so far
Thanks for your support @nedflanderz what type of tumour is yours? I’ve just started chemo now… so far it’s ok. You got chemo to come after radio too?
@@KillingChonkHow is PCV Chemo treatment do for you? I will start mine soon. Oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted, CNS WHO grade 3.
Love This one. Get to know the secret - P r o m o s m!!
Tall egg shaped and weird, cheers for the shout-out! Never seen the mask worn better 😂 Very impressed man!
good work!
Dude you’re crushing it, I played with some really strict Keto once upon a time. The deeper you dive, something like ‘effercitrate’ (you can get online) will help keep your kidneys feeling fresher, maybe help pass anything else floating around with treatment. Its a turbulent time out there, great shout on the pension - I was just gonna say, think about how all your assets fit together, and you already are as I type!
I’m thinking about needing to think about it 😂 haven’t actually got a plan yet. Im hoping rh info I get from my oncologist next week will give me a bit of a steer at least. Thanks too for the tip about efficitrate. Never heard of that one. I feel great on the low carb keto so far but I am conciliatory I better do some blood testing to keep an eye on other key metrics been considering the home blood tests you are like thriva. Just weighing up which I think is going to be best. No problems so far though, only other side effect has been weight loss which I’m keeping track of and making sure it’s not too fast.
Crushing it dude 👊🏻
Amazing how the weather can change during a workout! I know the feeling 😂 but nobody gets to see it. 💪🏻
I’m really impressed with your informed perspectives for someone plunged into this hell, given all the other stresses too! Keep the power ✊🏻
Thanks, doing my best to stay positive and make sure that the tumour is the only thing that is gonna kill me. Gotta try and survive long enough to see my baby go to school and grow up a bit.
Wish you the best!
Thanks, I’m much improved now :)
Very interesting to see this process
I’d kinda hoped that something would move or flash to show that something is going on. I was amazed how quick it is. I spend most of my time in the hospital reading my book!
Why is Archie in the same spot every night when you film? 😂
Not every time! He just wants to be involved. Channel mascot
You will look back on these times and wonder how the fuck you ever handled it all. Doing god’s work, both of you. Sending love as always. ❤
Thanks :) trying my best, Emma is baring the brunt of the long nights though. My oncooogy team keep telling me off for not sleeping enough then the midwives tell Emma to make me do my part like I don’t want to help.
❤
Thanks for your support
@@KillingChonk hell ya my dude. I’ve got a jerk in my brain too. So it’s always good to hear about people’s stories to make mine feel more normal. It’s all love! Life is beautiful.
Have you given yours a name?
@@KillingChonk Magic 8. 😂
Nice. How did you come up with that?
Future Timelapses will have some music…. Next thing I need to learn to do
Thank you Martin, that helps a lot and a very clear explanation. ♥️
“The decision to have the surgery was a ‘no brainer’ “ 😂😂 also your wife sounds fit…
Hope it all goes / went well Martin. Looking forward to an update from you 🙂
Praying for you, Martin, and for skills for the medical staff.
That’s a solid effort. Keep up the good work; improve a little every day. Be well!
Thanks, It's gonna be a long road back, but I'm happily back on the wagon
