First things first—happy birthday to my brother Joe!!
Went in my for my big chemo day yesterday, and it’s all good news. Cell count is good—thank you neupogen—and tumor is getting smaller. Dr. Head actually had to spend some time trying to find the thing, and when she finally located it, she pronounced that it was now “The size of a pea”! The tumor was 1.6cm long at the beginning of all this. What’s that in peas—3-5? In any case, the chemo is working and this is good.
With all this good news, Dr. Head noticed that I was quiet and not my usual self. I explained that it is hard to face the Chemo Lounge after having 10 days off. Luckily, I had company yesterday in the lounger—my two dear friends Christine and Addy.
Christine flew up from LA and Addy came up from Cupertino. We hung out in that lounge for a solid 4 hours and I honestly enjoyed every minute of it. Anyone that thinks you can’t gossip while getting chemo is WRONG!
After chemo, we all went to Wade Thomas to get the girls, then while Christine and Elsa cooked dinner, Addy went to soccer with Alice and I.
I love you guys—thank you for being such true blue friends!!
I had a blast seeing you, the girls and Chris. I hope we did not wear you out ;-) All that talking is hard work! Elsa and Alice are amazing girls. I can't wait to hang out with them again.
