Update

I passed my two-year diagnosis anniversary. Time flies when you are having fun. December 17th, 2007 is a day to remember. Not quite sure how to celebrate but is seems appropriate to count this as a good milestone.

I received more chemotherapy yesterday. The past week or two has been rough, not sure if I was sick, or if it was just normal yuckiness, it's hard to tell when you feel crappy everyday.

I have been having trouble breathing again, so I am going in for another Thoracentesis tomorrow to see if they can take out some more fluids from around my lungs. Hopefully this round will also help improve my breathing. The last one was successful. If this cycle continues we have two options: surgery to prevent future lung compression, or have a tube installed in my chest so I can regularly drain the fluids myself. There are pros and cons to both so we will have to decide which way to go. It's a little scary when you can't catch your breath even after the doing the simplest of tasks.

I have an MRI scheduled for early February, this is when we find out how the new brain lesions are doing, and whether or not we need to do more radiation treatments. Monica tends to worry about these little things. She worries enough for both of us. I have given up worrying, it doesn't do me any good. -Take care . -Eric
