Another A Team

Over the past two weeks, I have learned that there are pluses and minuses to this new chemo regime.

On the plus side, I have gotten to spend time at my favorite hospital, I am getting the best possible treatment to rebuff the cancer. I have many people expressing concern for me in many different ways.

On the negative side, there have been some tough side effects, which I am learning to deal with. I also have not been able to play tennis and only a little bridge.

But I am feeling better tonight than I have in a while.

I had hoped to spend a few days in Canada next week, but decided to push that off for a while until I get things into a better rhythm.

I had a good meeting with my gastro doctor yesterday and he has suggested a few helpful things.

This morning, I had another draining of fluid done by Amber and Anthony, my new A team. It has been helpful.

When I left, I was given instructions. They included no driving ( I asked and chipping and putting is apparently okay).  It also suggested that I could resume my eating habits. I took that to mean chocolate cake, fried calamari and pazookies at BJ's. The research manager insisted that it meant recent eating habits, not ones from three or more years ago, As a result, we had chicken, mushrooms and asparagus for dinner. Oh well, it was a nice thought.
