One week of radiation and chemo is behind me now. The effect of chemo has been negligible and radiation so far is a breeze. I feel a bit tired, that’s all.
I am told that the effect is cumulative and I may feel more tired as the weeks go by. Well, I’ll take a day at a time and hope for the best.
Have a great Labor Day Weekend, everyone…
CT Scan results yesterday indicate that the tumor has shrunk by a little!
This is considered “good news”, as it indicates that the tumor is responding to the chemo (at least, the tumor is not the same or larger than before).
Surgery option has been ruled out. The next course of action is radiation therapy every weekday plus chemo once a week, starting on 8/25 for six+ weeks. We are attacking with all our weapons, let’s see how quickly we’ll win.
Exactly one week after the 2nd chemo sesion and all is well. The changes in medication certainly helped cope with discomfort much better.
Next crucial date is Aug. 14th for a CT scan. The results of the scan will determine the next course of action. Till then, be well and thanks for your prayers, they are much appreciated…
Went for the 2nd chemo session on Aug. 1st, it was not different from the first one. Made some changes in medication to control fatigue and pain better for the short-term. We’ll know by Monday or Tuesday, but so far so good.
Having Saro, Julie come all the way from San Franicsco was a great boost. Of course, Coya was by my side every minute, Laura joined us at the hospital in te afternoon, while Derik minded the store.
The weekend has been good so far, just a bit tired and sleepy. Let’s see what the next few days bring, one day at a time.
The crucial date is Aug. 14 when I go for CT scan, which will tell the rel stpry on progress. Until then, no major event is expected.
Oh, my hairdo is temporary, I am NOT trying to emulate Saro’s!
