Amazing Day

Today has been a fascinating day.

The big news was my meeting with Dr. Patel. While we knew there was some improvement from the report from the imaging center, I was not prepared for what I heard. Dr. Patel said that the colon tumor was almost all gone and that the lesions on my liver reduced in size by about 15 %. He indicated that more significant liver lesion reduction usually takes longer. He was delighted that the report said that results were compatible with good treatment response twice, indicating that Imaging reports seldom say that. The combo of Chemo and Carol is working.

I was moved to the edge of tears after speaking with the doctor. This is an emotional journey!

The chemo went well. There will be four more sessions and then another petscan.

As noted yesterday, I fasted from about 7 last night until after my chemo today and it may be a coincidence, but I felt good tonight and my side effects seem to be minimal.

After chemo, we went to Sweet Tomato for a late lunch/early dinner. Today and tomorrow are the last two days this month for their fabulous mushroom soup. I also love the Wonton Happiness salad with sesame oil.

We are planning on going again tomorrow. I expect we will be there (13101Seminole at Ulmerton) about 4:45. If  you want to join us for a little party, I would be delighted to see you.

I ran into a new scam this evening while running the game at the club. One of the female players, playing on her nurse credentials asked if she could see my port. I was wearing a polo shirt (blue) and had to practically remove it, thus revealing my carefully sculpted chest. I suspect that this is similar to what Rafael Nadal experiences. I will need to be cautious about this.

Time for Cash Cab. I hope to see you tomorrow in person or through the blog.
