Another woman in my life

This has been an amazing week.

I had chemo on Tuesday and things went well. My ANC (white blood cells) was the highest that it has been since I started chemo.

Despite wonton and riotous living during my cruise, my blood glucose was at an acceptable level.

I have had energy, more than most expect and more than previous weeks.

Many people say that I am looking good.

My blood pressure today was 138/75....much better than previously at the cancer center.

We have been trying to sort out why this is. Yes, I am taking B12. Yes, the lypo-spheric C is effective.

However, I have to credit the new woman in my life......Dr. Zhang, my acupuncturist. Her goal is to get me through chemo (reduce side effects) and then to strengthen my immune system.

Don't tell the research manager, though. I'm hoping that she thinks it is all due to the cruise!
