A New Post Finally

I'm very late in posting, had a bit of a set back after my last round of chemo and am finally feeling up to par again.  They're going to change my chemo and keep me stronger after the next go around that starts Monday.  I start radiation Wednesday, so hoping I do better.
We went out to breakfast today and that felt so good, haven't had much of an appetite, but ate all of my breakfast today.
They did a CatScan and my tumor is shrinking YEAH!  Here's hoping the next go around shrinks it even more.  I'm feeling very optimistic.
It's been cold here, but promises to be a beautiful weekend for St.Paddy's Day.  All the locals are up in arms because the Vice President is coming down for the Parade tomorrow and all the rules have changed, they wish he would just stay away.
More than 300,000 people show up for St. Patrick's Day in Savannah, it's quite a party.
Hope you all have a great weekend,

  5. I was thinking yesterday that it had been some time since an update from you. Its encouraging to hear that the tumor is diminishing. A close friend went through chemo/radiation [successfully] a decade ago--its an anxious time and for the patient, an uncomfortable time. Hoping the next round goes smoothly.

  24. Good news about the shrinking tumor. It's marvellous what medics can do these days. We in the UK used to celebrate the big Irish event but now there's just a parade and not much else. It could be due to past troubles.
