CT Scanner Dude


I had another CT scan yesterday and the results were OK. Some good news in that several tumors shrunk and even crystallized (which I hear is good), but others grew (which I know is bad). I don't know why they all don't just die out, but we'll keep trying. For now we are going to keep an eye out on my tumor markers and stick with the current program. That's fine with me as I am feeling well and getting ready for some cool weather in Colorado! McNally Open here we go!

That was Quick

I had the quickest infusion ever today! My schedule is every Tuesday, and two out of three weeks are "light" weeks where I just get one drug administered (Erbitux). Every third week I have a "heavy" infusion day where I get two chemo drugs and of course a lot of anti-nausea drugs as well and that takes a long time.

Today I was in and out in two hours, which is a new record! In addition, my tumor numbers have stayed low so far with the new treatment so it appears to be working well. To top it off I'm feeling good! I try to appreciate every day and it sure is easy when things are going well!!
