Health Update

The last several months have been fairly stable. So there is not much critical to update about. I have been feeling pretty good. I started chemo just a year ago on February 21, 2014.

• Chemo was delayed from January 24^th, as I had congestion, and laryngitis, so took antibiotics.
• Had chemo on February 13 and January 31
• PET Scan Scheduled on Monday, Feb 23^rd, 10 am (Previous was in May 2014)
• Next Chemo is Friday, February 27. This will be my 20^th chemo treatment. I will get results of PET scan at that time.
• Fortunately no mouth sores so far his round.
• Very dumbfounded and incredibly sad about sudden death of my younger cousin, Dedra Chinn. She was just 62 years old. She went into the hospital on January 13^th, and was diagnosed with Anaplastic Lymphoma. She died on February 16^th and the funeral was yesterday (February 20^th).
• The rest of the update will be on my blog. I thought I would reflect on what it means when I say I am doing pretty good. It really has a lot to do with adjusting to the New Normal. If you are interested in what I experience when I am doing “pretty good.”  That blog is below.
