scan results and more chemo

I had a PET scan last week. I get one every three months to track progress of the cancer. This one was good news. They saw shrinkage in a number of areas, and no growth in most other areas. So good news this time. I also received another does of chemo. I almost look forward to the chemo because I know I will feel okay for a couple of days, or least better than the usual crappiness I feel every other day. But at the same time I know I will be sick after a few days, so it's a mixed emotion thing. The plan is to do an MRI before the next chemo to check out lesions on my brain and see what they are up to . All good. -Eric

More chemo

I went in for more chemo last Monday. It's very predictable that I will feel okay Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday after the chemo, largely because I am on steroids for those days and the nausea medicine is still in my system. As soon as I stop taking the steroids(I take the last one on Wednesday after chemo), and the nausea medication wears off things go down hill quickly. So Thursday I start to feel it, Friday even more so, and I can hardly wait until 5pm so I can leave work and go to bed. Saturday and Sunday I spend most of my time in bed feeling awful, and hoping things will turn around quickly. Here's hoping things get better next week. Monica has promised to make potato salad very soon:) Take care. -Eric
