Onward

No change to the plan. Hoped for a little reprieve but it all comes down to the brain things - Dr. Fowler wants full tilt against that. My blood work was great - no issues, no platelets or blood transfusions needed.  Just full speed ahead. So we are at the half way point and will continue to forward.  I am handling all the treatments great so why slack off I guess.  Sigh. I am basically doing the two chemos at once - so back in for brain chemo tomorrow for the three day cycle until the MTX is out of my system. Here are the current dates as they stand right now - Going in the hospital for brain chemo (MTX) #3 tomorrow through Monday more than likely.  Chemo #4 May 6-11 MTX #4 May 17-20 More scans this week to make sure all on track Chemo #5 May 27-June 1 MTX #5 June 7-10 - LAST ONE Chemo #6 June 17-22  Ring the bell Things could get delayed based on blood work. It may get rougher at 5 and 6 - but we will see.  My blood work was awesom...

Starving

Feeling more normal every day. Went to work which was just a great feeling to be there, get things done and feel normal. Wow.  And starving today - just eating throughout the day - everything looks and tastes good. Amazing Blood work was all on track - everything in range which means I don't have to stab my stomach with a shot any more! Yay. Obviously I think a lot about where we are right now.  There was an article about a gentleman from China trying to find a short term rental to get his treatment here. He was on a waiting list for MD Anderson and finally got a slot for treatment and now had to get here, stay here, transfer money etc. We drive 5 miles down the road. I got in to MDA within a week - all of which is critical because it didn't spread. Feeling good today in many ways.  Back to work again tomorrow.
