Relay For Life

Marti and I just got back from participating in Relay For Life for the first time. It is an honor and a privilege to be part of such a courageous group of people.

I had three radiation treatments this week and took chemo three times as well. I get a break from the radiation over the weekend but will continue the chemo every day. So far I have had no side effects from any of the treatments. I have been able to run 6 miles the last 2 mornings, including yesterday when I assumed I could beat the rain I saw coming in on radar. Needless to say I got soaked.

On the medical news front, I found out yesterday that two additional biopsies had been preformed on my tumor, looking for specific "markers". Both test yielded results that were positive for me. Very good news.

Sunday I am playing racquetball with my oncologist. If he thinks he is going to get any sympathy from me because his knee hurts, he is sadly mistaken.

Have a great weekend and thank you for caring.

    I can't think of anything else to say.
