Today was "chemo day", which means we get to sit down with the oncologist (cancer specialist doctor) and talk about how things are going. All the news was really good. My blood work is all in the normal ranges, blood pressure is fantastic, weight is stable, and the side effects haven't been too bad. What's more, when he felt of my liver to see how it was doing he was visibly surprised at how it had gotten so much smaller. Woo hoo! We'll know more in a couple of weeks after the next CT scan, but the indications are that the therapies we are using are working like crazy. Thank you all for the prayers, energy, thoughts and just for checking up from time to time. It is working.
We read Lance Armstrong's books. I never thought that much about him or them, mostly because my ex wife's family is named Armstrong and they are also from Texas. It turns out that the Armstrong name is an adopted one for Lance, and he doesn't like those people, either. Anyway, his books get an enthusiastic "squeal of approval" from me. He came across as a really interesting guy who beat some very long odds indeed, and it was inspiring and motivating for me. Also, they are pretty short and easy to read, which is nice for those of us with a touch of ADD.
