I got the idea to use the blogging venue from other friends who are keeping their family and friends updated with their life and health issues in a blog. Hopefully this turns out to be nice for everyone.
So it begins, another round of chemotherapy, I actually got my first dose on Tuesday. It went really well. It took a little while to get all the good stuff, probably around 4 hours. They pamper you though, you get a reclining chair, a window, and your own tv, and then whomever comes with you gets the most uncomfortable chair ever, and they get stuck bringing food and drinks. They meaning Craig. He is very, very, very good to me and I appreciate all that he does for me while we go through this, and how he never freaks out. Apparently I am the only one with that job.
Anyway, it would seem chemotherapy equals a bad place, but it doesn't. I would rather not be doing this again, but such is life. The cancer is not gaining ground, but the oncologist says that it was trying to ramp up for a full blown issue. So he is going to use the chemo to stop the cancer that was trying to gain back ground and make itself healthy and then I'll be rid of this mess. The protocol is once every three weeks, six times, so 18 weeks. Then we will reevaluate and determine if more is needed. I always like to do extra credit so I pretty much expect a little extra.
