1 Down, 2 To Go

My last 3 weeks of chemo started last Wednesday (January 17). Dr. D'Andre had indicated I probably wouldn't handle this last round as well as the other rounds last year....and she's been right.

I started feeling some stomach problems Friday night and spent most of the weekend on the couch alternating between shivering and feeling like I was burning up. Things have finally started to settle down, but I'm fearful the final two weeks will just get worse. Even the oncologist said I probably didn't need this last round, but I want to be as sure as I can be that the drugs are doing what they're supposed to do.

I have a drug induced stress-echo scheduled for early in February, will have blood work done and a CT Scan, then we wait and see.

Kaye and I are heading to Hawaii in mid-February for our first R&R in over a year. We're going back to our favoite place on the big island and we're counting the days.

Hopefully, with good reports, my blogs will become less and less frequent. My continued thanks to Gary and Suzanne for suggesting this easy way of communicating.

As always, your thought and prayers do work!
