My oh my how time flies. I am late for my update. Nothing really new to report other than finding medications for all the sores on my head and now they are disappearing. It is taking some hair along with it, but the patches are trying to fill in. Just recovering from the 7th treatment in this latest round and the 46th overall (2484 hours of chemo roughly). Life isn't to bad though and I cannot really complain. I played two 9 hole rounds of golf this weekend and didn't do to well and was quite frustrated actually, but then I had to step back and thank God that I had the opportunity to be with friends and even play golf. Last weekend I was in Las Vegas for the NASCAR race with my good friends Eric and Michelle. Thursday nite World of Outlaws race was good as well as the races on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday's weather was just about perfect, sunny and about 67°F. We tail gated in the morning and after the race. Friday's weather was not so good as it rained and snowed and cancelled qualifying, but as always the company was great and the laughter was priceless. I have a little golfing outing coming at the end of March in St George. Hopefully the weather will be in the 80's and sunny.
I will have one more chemo treatment in April and then another PET scan to see what the cancer is doing. The doctor says if the cancer backs off like it has the last four treatments, I may be in store for another break over most of the summer. That would be nice. Cheryl and I are reading up on some more diet changes to see if natural treatments can stop or slow the advancement of the cancer to prolong the break. If you have heard of something, send me an email as we are always looking online for any answers. If it involves listening to countless hours of rap music to try to scare the cancer away, I may just choose to die, but anything else is worth a shot.
Thank you very much for your prayers, reading this blog and caring,
Jeff
