Note from Erin: I'm going back and posting from Dad's original emails, so you can catch up. The actual first date of this blog was in January 2015.
Guy Version Only
- Plans for our celebration (Retirement/ 45th anniversary/surviving cancer) is set for Sunday, January 18th, 1-4 pm at Comfort Suites in Troy (behind Walmart). If you don't getting an invitation otherwise, consider yourself invited.
- We are on count down to closing office on November 26th. Then deal with 29 years of accumulated office things.
- Had a good couple of weeks as had stopped chemo as having a lot of “Hand and Foot” disorder. Also had an infected toenail, so during break, took care of both.
- The resolution of the toenail infection means I can wear shoes other than SAS ones. Walking is so much easier than has been for months and months.
- An example of how good I have been feeling (compared to being wheelchair bound 6-7 weeks ago.)....I walked around Kroger and didn't use the electric cart this week. First time in 6-8 months.
- At appointment with oncologist this am, with report from Friday's CT scan that showed improvement. No spreading of cancer, and all lesions in the liver are reduced in size compared to first CT scan in February. Also no obvious sign in the abdomen or lymph nodes. Dr. said it was all good news. and he had a big smile. So great news for now.
- Still having challenge get blood thinner regulated. Having home test machine is helpful, but haven't learned to love sticking myself.
- Am in chemo now...should be done by 3pm.
- Most people think I am looking much better, which does match the way I feel.
So instead of waiting two weeks more or so, I am sending this out right away.
