6th round done

I just finished my 6th round of chemo. So far so good. This is my last round of chemo, so here’s what will happen next: I’ll go on to a regime of maintenance drugs. I’ll receive these drugs through an IV every three weeks just like the chemo, but instead of 6 hours in duration, the maintenance treatments should only take about 1.5 hours. The intent of these drugs is to maintain the current level of the cancer, and prevent new growth. The side affects from these maintenance drugs are minimal so I should start feeling better, start growing my hair back, and start getting back to as normal a life as possible. I’ll continue to receive CT scans every couple of months to monitor any changes in the cancer. If there is new growth then I will go back onto chemo and repeat this cycle again. Given the advanced stage of my cancer, and the fact that lung cancer does not take well to remission, I will likely be going through these cycles for the rest of my life. Lets hope that's a very long time. Moinca is awesome -Eric.
