This treatment (Wed) was my 11th and after the next one I will again get scans and blood work. After this an assessment will be made to determine the next round. This will include continued chemo, length, etc are yet to be determined.
My blood counts continue to be good enough for only an occasional booster shot. All in all, I continue to be very blessed, very, very blessed.
The big news is that on my 10th treatment it was decided to stop the most toxic chemo drug because of the neuropathy and concern it might be causing permanent damage. This has meant that I have a bit more energy and generally feel more normal. It is hard to describe “chemo” brain for all you poor saps that have never gotten to experience it. It kind of dumbs down thinking, motivation, increase depression, etc. It seems these things are improving with this change.
So these things are always a risk/reward thing. More to follow.
Thanks for your prayers and thoughts, Lonni and I are upbeat but as scans draw near anxiety grows until results are in.
Love to all, from the incredible shrinking man (65 lbs down!! -- folks keep telling me how great I look! -- they are nice to not add, you were a fat pig before J). I haven't bought medium sized shirts in 35 years!!!
