Some Uplifting News

Dr. Chen confirmed at my appointment this past Monday that the tumor that was between my ribs and the tumor just below my shoulder blade seem to be gone after one cycle. Woohoo!!!!! Now we are looking at 4 cycles and probably going down to just 2 drugs for cycles 5 and 6. We will keep everyone up to date.

The First Cycle

And my two rest weeks are coming to an end. Do you know what that means?? Cycle number two starts on Monday the 14th. The first cycle wasn't too bad. Wednesday was the worst day, but some drugs during hydration took care of the nausea and upset stomach. I have to give kudos to my lovely wife for insisting that I do hydration during chemo week. It has helped immensely with how I felt during the week. Mary and I thank everyone for their prayers and well wishes. Peace out!
