Chemo 3 (Round 9)

A good session. Why? Because I met and talked to this young lady (28) who has been dealing with liver and breast cancer for the last two years. She was such a pleasure to talk to and has such a great attitude. Her parents and in laws were there with her as well.

My weight was down slightly and all the blood work was fine. The urine protein was low and stable and the meeting with Doc Schraeder was good. I will be CT scanned just before my next chemo (4th session) on June 6th.

Now, on a rather upsetting note. A good friend of mine who was dealing with cancer for the past few years was just told that it has spread after being cancer free for quite a while. Non of this makes sense anymore! I wish him well. He did ask me if I was at "The Spa" today and I loved the new title for the infusion center. So, from now on, you will hear me talk of going to "The Spa" and you will know what I am talking about.

Carpe Diem.

The biopsy

The biopsy was done this morning and I'm now home feeling ok. The lesion on the liver has allegedly remained the same or shrunk but the Doc was able to get the samples. So I guess that was good on both counts. It will be a couple of weeks until I hear anything back on the testing. 

Meanwhile.....chemo this Friday.

Carpe Diem.
