Chemo #5 + CT scan review

Tomorrow, Friday, April 24th, is chemo and immunotherapy treatment #5

And...I was informed that a blog was overdue:)

Every three weeks seems to come awfully fast!

I am incredibly grateful for the progress

That is evident from how I am feeling...

Gaining weight

Lifting weights (Note: They are VERY light weights!)

Walking around our little lake at least every other day

Great appetite

And...helping out at The Coffee Oasis very part-time with the finances!

Which makes it a bit hard

Facing another round of treatments

Knowing that I will again feel pretty lousy for a week or so

Due to the side affects.

I guess I'm weird that way

I like feeling good

I don't like feeling lousy

But the results of feeling lousy from the treatments

More than make it worth the improvement that is happening!

I am grateful.

Also, tomorrow, we meet with my doctor

To find out the results of my CT scan last week.

He left a very brief voicemail last Friday

Saying that there was improvement...

Which is great

BUT...

What improvement?

How much improvement?

What does it mean in terms of ongoing treatment?

And so my mind has been busy

Wondering...

Will I be satisfied with the improvement?

Will it be discouraging that it isn't enough improvement?

So...you get the idea:)

My mind certainly keeps me hopping!

The challenge is to keep trusting

And, to be daily grateful for the obvious improvement

That is happening regardless of what the CT scan shows.

So...

Thank you again for all the support and encouragement and prayer

You all are a blessing!

I will let you know the results of the CT scan...soon:)

Blessings,

Dave
