Well, a bit of a long day but otherwise a good day. We got there for our 1pm infusion and only got out after 5pm. Normally it takes about 2 1/2 hours. My regular nurse Jen was not there and the person filling in for her was, shall we say, a bit slow! Had to stick me twice to get a vein. Aaargh!
We met with Dr. Schraeder (my Oncologist) and he was very pleased with the last scans. While the malignancy is still showing up in the right lung pleura (fluid) it has diminished slightly. The best news is that there is still no evidence of spread to anywhere else. The 2 drugs that I am receiving every 3 weeks seems to be doing the job for now. Dr. Schraeder even said that if I wanted an extra week during some of the treatments that it would be okay. I can think of one place where I would want 4 weeks off. World Cup 2010 in South Africa!!!
The MouseSkin family is progressing well. There is a chance that we may be able to begin testing early next year.
Carpe Diem.
World Cup in SA in January! Very cool. Also cool to get the extra week off.
