A little bummer news from today's chemo nurse: my white count is a little bit lower than usual, but I feel fine: no fever, but had a case of the green apple two-step yesterday.I did get the truck's oil and diff gear oil changed after chemo. I should plan on having the fuel filter, radiator and tranny fluids changed out next time.

Its amazing how nearly nothing happens when one is for all but absent on LJ ( Read more... )

The only place I could get to was Facebook while at chemo today. Not even web-based email was possible, so I napped to a re-broadcast of last night's Tribe game.

I finally broke down and bought a copy of Naturally Speaking 10 for under $50 at Target today, and taking a slight break from configuration/training of the software. When I opened the box, one of the ear pieces on the headphones was disconnected from the head band, so I had to snap it back on. I look like a minion of a call center with it on, but ( Read more... )

This morning I had assumed that it was Avastin only for my chemo session.
Silly kid, you forgot who ordered up your schedule.
Well it was just about everything but Avastin today, so I caught up on a little sleep since I also assumed on the briefness to the point of not bringing Portabrayne with me to ICC.

Next week it is only Avastin since I got ( Read more... )

Yeah, I really did take a badly need nap during chemo today since I was at L-5 last night manning the recorder during an audition for another, more straight-ahead style of drummer. Having shown up at 7pm last night, LT and I waited until SV showed up at about 8:30p to wait for another hour and fifteen for the auditionee. L&S want to try this guy ( Read more... )

The chemo sessions will continue. On average, the lesions have shrunk 50%, with the one in my lung going from 7mm to 4mm alone.
One truism in dealing with bureaucracy: They love dead tree, as I have to fill out more paperwork just to straighten out my MCP (read: HMO) situation.

Okay, I went to chemo @ 10am for Avastin only, just to find out that there was a goof-up and I was to get the whole shibang. What was supposed to be an hour and change, turned out to be until almost 2pm. I should have taken the laptop for the jollies!

First of all, Happy Birthday to rachel1975!
I might have some great news in the job department: both docs have no problem with me returning to duty. I just need them to do the paperwork, and for me to find out how many hours I can do so I don't surrender all SS Disability (which won't start until late April[*1].) I had to dump my cell phone account just to ( Read more... )

Hey again!
Haven't had much to post about as of late, and I'd rather spare the belly-aches that I've posted about in the past for now and get with (ahem,) something completely different.
(Tuesday) The oncologist is still happy about my numbers and can't wait to have another CAT done on me around Jan/Feb to see if the nomadic pieces of tumor have ( Read more... )
