March 28, 2008

Yesterday Paul had his last chemo treatment.  CT scan on April 9 will tell how well radiation and chemo worked on the cancer.  We already know the two tumors have shrunk.  He is feeling pretty good.  Chemo knocks you around for a few days but nothing he can't handle.  He will be his old self very soon.  We are looking forward to Spring (got snow today) and getting outside and doing some things - even if it is only a drive to the park. 

I will report on results of Ct scan.

February 26 to March 22.....

Third chemo treatments was February 28.  It went well but he was sicker for a few days after than before.  Feels like a case of the flu he says and spends a few days mostly in bed and not eating too much.  Then he kept feeling better but found out that the nausea pills (zofran) made him more tired and some diarrhea so he stopped them quickly and feels so much better.

We are both wishing for Spring and warm weather.  This Thursday is four and probably last chemo treatment at least for a while.  Then he will have a CT scan a couple weeks down the road and determine how well the radiation/chemo has worked.  We know it is working but hoping for lots of good news!!

Here is Paul and his buddy - follows him everywhere and keeps him active as he does the dog walking as much as possible...
