NO IV POLE THIS ROUND! HALLELUIAH! A NUMBER OF CHANGES. STARTED A NEW
A DRUG YESTERDAY (ADRIAMIACIN). SINCE THE TUMOR MARKER ROSE DR HORBELT AND I BOTH AGREED THAT THE OTHER DRUGS HAD DONE THEIR JOB. I WILL BE GETTING A CAT SCAN OF THE ABDOMEN NEXT WEEK. HAVE NOT HAD A CAT SCAN SINCE BEFORE SURGERY. I WILL ALSO BE GETTING A SERIES A SHOTS TO KEEP MY BONE MARROW UP AND RUNNING (THOSE LOW COUNTS ARE WORRISOME). ALL MY OTHER LAB WORK IS NORMAL. EVEN THE PROTEIN LEVELS. REMEMBER AFTER SURGERY WHEN MY ALBUMIN WAS 0.8. I'M HAPPY TO REPORT IT IS NOW IN THE NORMAL RANGE AT 3.6. ALL THAT BOOST (AND LEMONBERRY SLUSHES) MUST HAVE WORKED!

THE NEXT CHEMO IS SCHEDULED FOR SEPT 17th. AND YES I'M BEGINNING TO FEEL LIKE AN OLD PERSON. MY ENTIRE SOCIAL CALENDAR (WELL ALMOST) IS DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS. WELL AT LEAST I'M GETTING OUT. MAKES THOSE TRIPS TO SONIC WAY TOO CONVENIENT.

WAY TOO MUCH RAIN LAST WEEK AND COOLER WEATHER THIS WEEK HAS CUT DOWN ON THE WATERING CORES. HAVE EVEN TURNED OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER.

HOPE YOU ALL FIND A REASON TO SPEND SOME TIME OUTSIDE THIS WEEKEND.

HEY! I'M BACK. COUNTS ARE UP. CHEMO IS SCHEDULED FOR THURSDAY.
WILL PLAN ANOTHER POST AFTER VISITING WITH DR. HORBELT.

Technical Difficulties

Post from Lorri
Well, we've had some technical difficulties with the Blog. I got married, changed my name which messed up the email, etc. etc. Obviously, Teresa and I didn't have a teenager handy who could have fixed it in 30 seconds. So after resetting passwords, I think we're back on track. The next post will be from Teresa. Just a hint, you do not need to log in to Blogspot if you don't want to post a comment. If you want to post a comment, then you will need to log in, create a password, etc. I visited Teresa and her herd of animals on Saturday. They are all alive and kicking, some hairy and kicking more so than others.
