Medical: Rolling back to May/June Size

The lump in my neck is about back to its size from sometime in May or June, beaten back from its pre-chemo peak in late August (where I said it was "half lemon" sized).

I did ride the bus on Monday, both because it was threatening weather and because I was a bit tired. After that, I had a good week of commuting by my comic-but-effective folding bike (20" Schwinn), which I use because the heavy, city-adapted, Urban Assault Bike (a 2013 REI Novara Gotham) has a busted freehub.

A little more than a week after chemo (and my anti-nausea pill was last Sunday) my gut seems back to normal.

As for the restless leg, I have had a few later-evening twitches, but haven't had to do the topical cream. I have been keeping up my magnesium citrate intake to stave off any restless leg, but I'd guess it was probably subsiding on its own, just like the gut issues have.
