Post Christmas

Well it seems that my posts are becoming somewhat more infrequent, however this is a good thing as my life as on the last two Chemo treatments has been much less eventful, medically speaking. My most recent treatment, even with the addition of another Chemo agent, has left me with the predictable and manageable side effects.

Christmas was very nice, I've been glad to spend time with my family, thank you to everybody for your gifts and support. I feel quite blessed by how everyone has supported us.

Plans are to continue with Chemo, and in mid January I will be going for a CT scan to see how things are progressing. Quite a lot will be riding on this test as this will be an evaluation that will affect the path my treatment will take, whether surgery or continuing Chemo.

Thank you everyone, Merry Christmas and looking forward to the new year.

Keeping on

Well it's been a while since my last post, but that is good as things have been rather uneventful. (fingers crossed) I'm on my second round of the new drug and it's a smaller dose this time to hopefully keep the side effects minimal. So far no major issues, which is to say I'm not in the hospital. Of course things can't be too easy, the challenge this time around is fatigue. Fatigue is number one on the list of Chemo side effects and it is a challenge, unsure how mine might compare to others but it does make things difficult. I need about a five minute warm-up to get up and do something or to change what I'm doing. Well, hopefully there won't be much to talk about until my next Chemo treatment on the 20th, where I'm going to be adding a additional drug to my regimen.

Thanks to all my friends and family supporting me through this.
