A lot has happened since I last posted, at least when it comes to medical things. Cheryl and I talked about the month of August for our lifestyles and my working schedule and we decided to skip the last two sessions of chemo and roll right into the break. I was already 1 week into the break and with stress being a factor we thought that maybe life would be less stressful being able to work more and stress out less due to being sick and not being able to work. Lesser of two evils. The good news is that the end of 5 weeks, I took a blood test and the results indicated no real activity in cancer growth. I will go another 4 weeks without chemo and do my regular PET scan right after I get back from our friends Chris and Breanne's wedding. Last year after 5 weeks break, the cancer spread to my lymph nodes and wreaked havoc in me so this is a nice change.
Other good news is that my throat is fixed. I had an external stricture holding my esophagus closed at a place. A little balloon action and it is open and I am eating normal again.
Its like being normal again after being diagnosed two years ago. Almost a whole new me.
Anyways, that's the skinny. I hope everyone has a great long weekend.
Thanks for reading and caring,
