Life is interesting and challenging.

Today was a good day, although as I approach this evening, I am quite tired.

I slept till about 9:00 am, got up and made breakfast, did a few jobs on the computer and went off to run a game at the club. We also played and did decently.

On the way home, I was very tired and fell asleep in the parking lot of the health food store while the research manager read me.......well......more research.

We usually have a fair bit of paper hanging around the house and with this additional research load, the piles of paper are higher. I can now only see the research manager's head when she sits at her desk.

Where am I currently? Shingles pain, dry mouth, a serious mouth sore in the middle of my upper lip, a slightly upset stomach and fatigue are all part of what we are dealing with. Chemo is tough, but you can improve day by day and the second week is better.

Where do we stand on what happens after the next chemo? We are shifting to dealing with things without more chemo. The reality is that the maintenance chemo is still punishing, not to mention expensive.

It will depend on the petscan and CEA reading, the results of which will be known by October 12 or 13. We will then meet with the doctor and go from there.

We have gotten a lot of advice over time and it is much appreciated.

Oops, sorry. I fell asleep and my nose landed on the "g".

Have a good night.
