Cycle 3 Day 1

Well today is the big drip...

I went for my blood work, weigh in and oncology appointment yesterday, the blood work came back close to normal with a few white blood cell related markers a little low but just under the low end of the normal range so nothing to worry about.  I have managed to control my diet enough to stay at a consistent weight and the oncologist did an exam and determined that things were going well and my body was responding well to the treatments.

We had a discussion around adjusting dosage of the prednisone and determined that it should remain the same.  We will keep an eye on how I feel this cycle and revisit before my next cycle starts.

We also discussed that I am most likely going to have all 6 cycles of the chemo but we will do a CT scan after the 4th to get a view of what has really changed in relation to the cancer in my body.

I am heading off to the agency shortly and will be there in th ebig comfy chair until 1:30 or so, if you are in the 'hood and want to chat feel free to drop in.

I will write you when I return...
