*8/11/10 - No Chemo Today* 8/2/10 Good Report & A (Minor) Whine
* 8/11/10* No Chemo today, blood platelets are too low - risk of bleeding & not clotting. Like before, not dangerously low, probably just another delightful side-effect of the last chemo. Wait a week, blood test again and see how they're doing..
****************************************************************************************************
8/2/10 Good News! Met with the Oncology Team @ Riverside & as a result of the last series of Chemo my tumor has shrunk some more! Going to do a series of 3 more @ 3 wk intervals and they will only use 1 of the 3 drugs (Avastin) that have been used till now. Hoping that with only 1/3 of the toxins pumped into my body, the ickies afterward will be less severe. Next evaluation will be in Sept. Cross your fingers!
A whine - relatively minor in the grand scheme of things, but nonetheless...I've always done fairly rigorous eyebrow maintenance because I loathe Old Man eyebrows, and unibrows. I don't want to look like the Mentats in the original "Dune." Recently this hasn't been a problem. A pretty blank look, huh?
(The Uncle Fester picture seemed like a good idea at the time, but then again so did polyester leisure suits & porn 'statchs, at the time.)
