Tomorrows I go in for my 5th of 8 treatments. I think when I finish on Wednesday with the infusion it will be a real boost. I was much more tired this round, apparently due to my hemoglobin dropping significantly. If it continues to drop they can give me a shot and blood transfusion if necessary.
My weight still bothers me. I dropped as low as 141 but I have been maintaining 142-143. It is a little frustrating because I am not hungry, I force myself to eat and I can not gain weight. The good news is that most of you forgot how I use to look and tell me how good I look. My wife seems to be a little more honest. She actually went out and bought me some new blue jeans, my old ones were looking more like a pajama fit. I think she may have been in the boys department for a 31 slim fit jean, but they do look and feel better.
I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I see the oncologist this week and the surgeon next week. I read a wonderful book "the Anatomy of Hope" which inspired me as well and I know having the positive attitude and knowing about the prayers and people thinking about me has really helped carry me through this so far.
I will post with the happy news when I finish this next round.
