Whoa! It's October?


When was my last post? April? No, say it ain't so! Well it has been a while and yes, I'm still alive and kickin. Lots of things to get done and time is flying. Well to update, my chemo stressed my body and at the end of May my red cells were waving a white flag and I was in the hospital again. Missed Billy Joel at Mohegan Sun (Dang!) but Heather and Ben went and had a good time and Heather even brought me the concert book. I had two blood transfusions in June and more chemo. My white and red cells were tanking so I raised the flag of surrender and opted for a vacation from chemo the first week in July. My Dr. was happy and said as long as we tested regularly and nothing funky was happening I could remain on vacation. So far so good. I went for weekly blood work and my counts started to rise and with them my old piss and vinegar returned. My counts are good and I go every other week now for blood work. Had a sinus infection that took forever to clear and a throat thingy that Dr B thinks was a virus ...still have some residual coughing from that. Had a PETCT on 10/10 and will find out this Friday the results.
