Chemo 6 (Round 7)

Another good but “tense” chemo session.

 

Let me explain the “tense” first. I had a flight booked to Florida at noon and my chemo session started at 7:30 am. You can see where this is going, right ? To make a long story short, I made my flight by 7 minutes.

 

The good part of the chemo session was that, once again, my weight is stable, my vitals were fine and the blood work was good. In fact, very good. About 3 weeks ago I was put on a cholesterol lowering drug and also made some “minor” diet changes. The latest blood work showed a dramatic improvement in all my cholesterol numbers. Dr. Schraeder seems to be happy with how things are going for me at the moment. Now if we could just get the scans to cooperate.................

 

My next chemo session will be on January 24th. I leave for Africa on the 27th. I also will be meeting with Dr. Sidransky on January 21st to discuss the possibility of further genetic and molecular study options.

 

Carpe Diem.

 

P.S. My blood pressure was slightly elevated. Do you think it had anything to do with missing my Florida flight ?
