 I started my third round of the new regiment of chemo last Thursday.


Things went pretty well. I took some Advil before I went and fortunately I felt better after getting the saline flushes. Hopefully that will help in the future. I also didn't get a headache this time.

Fortunately my blood counts all were within normal range so I didn't have to get that shot.


I asked my doctor about getting a CT scan soon. He was going to hold off until late in the summer but I expressed concerns that he considered good points so I will have a CT scan on July 1st.

Good luck with the scan! (Yes, I KNOW it's over 2 weeks away, but I didn't want to forget!)

WOW!! Haven't heard anything out of you in a while. Been busy??

Thanks for the encouraging words about the scan. I'm a little nervous about this one. I always worry about having to go on another drug that would cause me to lose all my hair AGAIN!! But we'll see. Hopefully this one is STILL doing the job.

Whatcha been up to?

Hey there, Stacy. I've been somewhat out of touch with the world, or at least with part of it. Had a problem with my system here--something, somehow, got into my Internet Explorer program and f***ed it up. I had trouble accessing a lot of sites, including e-mail. I had "expert advisors" in the family giving me suggestions, but tonight I decided to ignore them and try my own idea. I uninstalled I.E.6 and reverted to the prior version--and it worked. So here I am....

I talked to my dad today. He's doing well. Having a week off from chemo every 4th week seems to work well. It gives him a chance to recover somewhat from the fatigue, to get his blood counts up, and to put a little weight back on. He said he still has a little hair, and he hasn't lost his mustache!

Patrick is out of school for the summer. He's ready to be LAZY--which means he won't be too happy when I assign him more chores! Tomorrow he has a choice: he can cut the grass. (That's his only choice.) I have a few other things in mind for this week also. I'm taking a day off on Wednesday. Michelle and I are going on a day cruise from the Inner Harbor to Annapolis and back. It's run by Harbor Cruises, and I assume it will be on the Bay Lady or the Lady Baltimore, the two big dinner cruise boats out of the Inner Harbor. It should be fun.

I hope the chemo is going well!
