My check up

My port flush and check up went well. The blood work was fine and the protein in my urine is back to normal levels. The break from the Avastin has really helped the protein levels return to normal and given my kidneys a break. My blood pressure is good and my weight is “high” normal :-)

My next flush and check up is scheduled for August 29th and the next scan will be sometime in mid September. Hopefully, the condition of my “inside” matches the “outside”……………all ok !

The Center

The Adrian Suskin Center for Zimkids is opening this weekend. This is such a proud moment for me. Thank you to all involved with this amazing project. Dennis, without your guidance and inspiration we would all be lost. Siabonga kakulu and tatenda.

Away I go

I’m off today to Europe for a cruise with my mom and the Polskin/Bass families. Check out this link:

Then I continue on to Zimbabwe for 2 weeks. Maybe longer if I’m having fun !

One serious Carpe Diem(s).

Finally !

I was able to get UPS to help me get some of my medical equipment shipped off to Zimbabwe. I was able to send 21 infusion units, 2 nebulizers and lots of IV tubing. My stuff is hooking up with another shipment of medical equipment and supplies destined for Bulawayo. I will elaborate at a later date. Suffice to say:

Thanks UPS, Doc Phil and Doc Steve.

Port flush and Doc visit

But no chemo ! I went in today to get my port flushed and visit with my Oncologist. All was fine. The blood work and vitals were good and I have blimped to 160lbs :-)

My next “flush" will be July 26th. Did I mention no chemo !

I also went to see my heart Doc and did a stress ECG. You sit in a room and people come in and swear, belittle and insult you until you stress out. No, not really. But I did actually do a real stress ECG and it was all fine.

Now, away I go.

Carpe Diem.
