We went to Madison last weekend and once again Matt and his family were in town for a basketball game. We were all together at Todd's on both Saturday and Sunday. It was fun.
I had my blood tested on Tuesday and the results still look good.
Yesterday we went to the monthly lunch with my siblings and cousins. Today I went for a PET scan and tomorrow I'll be getting a CT scan.
Saturday we're going to the Opera (last one) and on Sunday we're going to Madison for Oscar's 1st birthday.
Lois and I both have appointments with our family doctor (Dr. Akgulian) on Monday and on Tuesday I get an Avastin treatment and find out what further treatments are planned.

Stable
Had my weekly blood test on Wednesday instead of Tuesday (I screwed up). The test results were good and I'm feeling fine.
We're going up to Madison for the weekend again and that should be fun.

Finally
On Tuesday I received the final chemo treatment of the high powered stuff. I'll still be getting the Avastin every three weeks but I don't know what else is in-store. It will depend on the results of a CT and PT scan which haven't been scheduled yet. I guess we'll have to hold off on our Florida trip plans until we know more.

Delayed
Went for my chemo treatment yesterday and because I had a slight fever (100.3) the treatment was postponed until next Tuesday. I was given an antibiotic (Levaquin again) to take for the next 10 days and I got a chest x-ray.
Thanks to the transfusion my blood tests looked much better than the last time.
Last weekend was something special. Nathan, Tina and the kids came here from NC on Friday and stayed until Sunday afternoon. It was Tina's idea that they come and see me while I was still in good shape and before my last treatment. Nathan invited his siblings to join him for the weekend. Mary, who is in Florida, couldn't come. Matthew had to bow out at the last minute because Joe came down with a rotavirus. The Dr. advised that I not be in contact with anybody from that household.
Nathan and Todd prepared the Saturday meal that consisted of homemade ravioli, homemade sausage and homemade sauce. Tina's mom, Natalie, also sent over 2 cakes, a pie and 2 trays of lasagna. When I was weighed in yesterday I had gained 2 lbs from the previous week. I consider myself a lucky guy.
