My sister reminded me last night that I did not do a post for day 2 at Duke last week.  So here goes….

But first we have had a great weekend.  Sam was sworn as an attorney in Kentucky. And as part of the oath he had to swear he had never been part of a dual. John had to make the same promise when he was sworn in a few years ago.  I am glad they did not ask me because if you weren't dualing what were you two doing when you methodically tore up our furniture as you were growing up. I distinctly remember a time or two when "I am going to kill you" came just before " I am telling Mom".  Also we went to two weddings (I missed both ceremonies but made it to both receptions - It doesn’t get any better than that).

Now back to the matter at hand.  Yesterday I decided I am not going to be ready to run the half marathon in November, I am going to have to wait until March to run another one.  I am still doing some running; I got about 6 in yesterday, but not nearly enough to run 13 miles in 3 weeks.  The 2 month turnaround is just not enough time.  What an excuse.

This week I will start the Avastin IV on  Thursday which is a protein that should help in the fight against the cancer.  I don’t think there will be major side effects with this procedure. The first cycle will be 4 hours. 

I am still not sure when we return to Duke for the start of this vaccine cycle. 

I am sorry there is not much information in this post but again thanks for caring enough to check in, more information including Duke schedule, when we hear.
