Maryland Capitols FC

Robyn (our daughter) has accepted an offer to play with Maryland Capitols FC of the WPSL. They play right here in Landover, Maryland.

I am so very proud of what she has achieved. This will hopefully enhance her chances of making the South African Womens Olympic Soccer Team. 


Go Capitols !

chemo 23 (Round 7)

Boy, it’s that time again ?

Chemo 22 (Round 7)

My, time flies when you're having fun !

Boring news, but good news. The vitals were ok, weight stable and the blood work was fine. Another reprieve for 3 weeks.

I’m going to get scanned sometime in February. That will be the real test as to how “good” things are.

Carpe Diem.

MRI Brain Scan result

All was fine and normal with the MRI brain scan result. I do indeed have a brain. However it's not being used much.

Carpe Diem.

Chemo 21 (Round 7)

Off to chemo. Busy day as I also have an appointment with the heart Doc. I'm feeling well.

Speaking of feeling well, all the blood work was good and so were the vital signs. The good poison dispensing went smoothly and I was out of there only half an hour late for the heart doc. The heart doc visit was good with a "normal" EKG.

What more could I want...............? A visit to Boca to see my mom. Off tomorrow morning for 2 nights.

Carpe Diem.

MRI Brain Scan

I had a routine MRI brain scan done today. I say routine, as the most likely place for lung cancer to spread is the brain. So they need to keep and eye on my brain. I'm feeling well and am asymptomatic for any noggin problems. It's just a precaution. If they find a brain I will let you all know.

Carpe Diem.

The Wall !!!

To all my faithful readers, sorry ! I've hit "the wall". I will return soon..................

Carpe Diem.

Happy Thanksgiving

I am thankful that I have the means and the ability to give to those less fortunate. Pay it forward.

Chemo 20 (Round 7)

And we keep going.

All is well with the blood work, vitals and weight. I will closely monitor this 21 day cycle to see how I feel and what problems I note.

I met with Dr. Schraeder and this is what we discussed.

1. We will continue the current treatment and dosage of the Alimta and Avastin every 21 days. If I note an
    increase in lousy days he will then consider lowering the Alimta dosage.

2. I was checked for the EML4-ALK genetic mutation just over a year ago. I was negative for the test 

    which means that I am not a candidate for this new drug. Oh well. Only about 5% of people 

    tested are ever positive. Pretty tough odds.

3. I will get a MRI brain scan done in the very near future.

Carpe Diem.
