There is a lot to report tonight.

First and foremost are the results from my petscan. The scan showed slight improvement and basically indicated that things were steady. We are regarding this as good news. I feel good and strong and expect to go to Xeloda when I meet with the doctor next week. It may not start till after Labor Day. That assumes that we go with the Xeloda option.

We have done six seminars on alternative cancer therapies and have some things to add to our routine. Far Infrared Suana, infusion of Vitamin C, Ozone infusion and a few other options have presented themselves. Much of the presentation dealt with digestive issues. (see below)

I also have a list of clinical tests that are being conducted assuming no use of Xaloda and can get another list assuming I do Xeloda.

There will be much study and thought during the next few weeks.

On the household front, we had a plumbing disaster in the kitchen. Fortunately, there was no major overflow from the sink. However it caused excitement for a few days as obviously the drain was clogged.

Later, Carol was talking about 20 years of sludge being built up. I though she was talking about my digestive system, but thankfully, she was talking about the garbage disposal that fed the drain. Apparently carrot shavings are good for my digestion, but not so good for drains.

I had occasion to take a short flight this week and was impressed by the airline. While I didn't take it, I was offered a complementary head set. I thought later that I should have taken it as I like it when people tell me that I am looking good or offer any kind of compliment.

Secondly, I was just behind the emergency exit rows. The stewardess said that if anyone in those wanted to be moved, they could be. No one wanted to be moved, but I wondered what kind of story the stewardess would tell them to move them, likely to tears.

It is getting late and so I will go off to bed, dreaming of Amy, the new attendant at the clinic where I get my petscan. She is attractive, greets all patients with a smile and went out of her way to get me my report the same afternoon of the test. Another woman in my life! Don't tell the research manager.
