Quick Update

Tomorrow is Friday and I was hoping to feel back at full strength for the weekend. But I don't think that is going to happen. This 2nd round of chemo seems to be hanging on for a while. A general lack of energy, lack of appetite, and shortness of breathe seem to be an everyday situation. For some reason with this go around I have developed sinus pain and swelling. Just something else to deal with. None of this makes it impossible to function. But all them combined does make it a challenge.

The problem is that starting Tuesday I start my 3rd and final round of chemo. I am nervous that if I go into this last round in a weak state, the 3rd treatment will really leave me in a bad state. I can see a possibility of a minimum 2 week recovery. I know they want to get a CT scan done after my chemo, but it will be a while before I can hold down all the contrast they want me to drink.

Well, I hope I feel well enough to play 9 holes on Sunday. I won't even try to walk, it will be a cart for me.

Good night.
