Cycle 4: Going Home!

Hi All, I should be breaking out of this joint in about an hour and heading  home! Cycle 4 seems to be going as well as could be expected.  A few days at home will finish the “purge”.  I’ll get another scan in a couple of weeks and expect it will be CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN! […]

More About Chemo…Protect Yourself!

Thought you’d enjoy these pictures of the nurses geared up for protection from the stuff they’re just PUTTING INTO MY BODY!   I’ve had a great stream of visitors and phone-callers today – not a dull moment in the executive suite!  Thanks to all for helping the hours pass more quickly.
