27 treatments down, 6 to go.
On Monday of this week I had my usual "Dr. Day" with the Radiologist. During our meeting we discussed my scar from surgery and the fact that it seemed to be more pronounced. The Radiologist gave me a perscription as a precaution, in case it was starting to get infected. He really didn't think it was but he wanted to be safe.
After meeting with the Oncologist the next day, he concurred that it was probably not infected but agreed I should take the medicine as a precaution. By the way the blood counts this week were again well within the good range. Also Marti supplied both the radiation office and the oncology staff with some of her chocolate chip cookies. The next day I was inundated with requests for the recipe.
I confess I am starting to get more tired by the end of the day. My after treatment naps gone from 5-10 minutes to 15-20 minutes. Also I have not run since Tuesday. However I WILL run this weekend. No more excuses about the weather or the treatments.
This week I had a couple of high school friends stop by. Steve Mather is definitely running in November and Dave DeMoss is undecided. It was a lot of fun seeing both of them.
The best news of the week is that our nephew Robert and his wife Shea have a new addition to the family. Caroline Shea Pollom was born yesterday in San Antonio. Congratulations Shea and Robert.
I am really looking forward to this time next week when I will have only one treatment left.
Thank you for caring.
Good news about the blood count! I'm so glad but sorry to hear that you've been taking longer naps. It will be better in ONE WEEK!
ReplyDeleteSo do you see a difference in the scar since you started taking the medicine?
It's great to know that Steve and Dave came to see you. How nice.
By the way, it's okay to use the heat as an excuse. I do it all the time.
Congratulations and love to Robert and Shea!
This is awesome news, Bill! I'm so glad this is almost over for you. Still praying!
