UPDATE

Went to the Onco Dr. last wednesday. All my lab work came back good. He said I was looking good, did I want another treatment. WELL YEAH. They took me back to the infusion room and started to put a pic in my arm. They do this to line the vein, because this new stuff will eat the vein up. Well after some pain and blood everywhere, they tried to start the IV but it wouldn't work right. So they stopped and sent me for an x-ray to see if it was in the vein right. Got x-ray went back to the Dr. office. As soon as we walked in the door they called and told me the x-ray was messed up and I needed to come back. (Oh boy, why didn't they just let me wait). So I went back to x-ray, this time the x-ray Dr. did it himself. It was pretty cool, they had a live computer screen where you could watch in real time.

His conclusion, the veins in my left arm are too small, when they tried to get a blood return they would colapse. He pull it out and re-do it. Well they went to my right arm, here we go, that mutha hurt, again blood everywhere, but it worked. Finished the infusion, now it's about 2:30.

Had an appoinment with Dr. McNeil at 2:00. They got to me about 3:30. He checked out my ulcer and said it was looking good. (again how can an ulcer look good?) Healing up. But he wants me stay with the boot for six more weeks. (damn). I got the Dr. to look at this other little problem I have with my leg. Turns out it's phlebitis. The superficial veins right under the skin clot. They swell up a little and they itch. It can get tender so sometimes it's sore. But there's nothing they do about it, and they don't really worry about it. But hell, it is something else to deal with.

The side effects from the chemo were not as bad this time. The only thing it really did was make me real tired. Thats why I haven't posted in a while. But I'm feeling better now, just a little tired. I go back wednesday for the rest of my chemo treatment. He does it in two parts, so it don't wipe me out.

OK, I gotta go. Stay healthy people.

GOD BLESS YA'LL / WE LOVE YA'LL
