The weekend went well. Ed, Ed’s fiancee Elaine, my mom and Jon were all in town. I had only very slight nausea and no vomiting. I felt worst on Sunday and Monday, but I was back at work on Monday.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Yesterday I felt pretty good and today I think I feel 100%. Though with my memory, I might just not remember what 100% feels like from a week ago.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
When I feel my neck it feels like the tumors have shrunk a ton. I guess I could just be out of my mind, but I don’t think so. They feel at least 50% smaller.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Anyway, this Friday I’ll have a blood count to see how ye olde white blood cells are doing and then next Friday is my next scheduled chemo treatment. This time it should only take 3 hours, thank goodness. They’ll give me a blood test first and if my white blood cells are doing ok, shoot me up. If they aren’t, then they’ll give me some growth factors to stimulate the very marrow of my bones (which apparently, will hurt) and then give me my infusion of poisons the following Friday.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
So let’s all hope that I don’t need any growth factors. Go go gadget marrow!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
