Tomorrow will begin round 8 of chemo. After this many rounds, I am starting to feel a little bit like Rocky. This is just a consolidation round to keep me in remission until the bone marrow transplant is scheduled. Not much new to tell regarding my treatments right now.
Good news; the lymph node surgery went fine. The node was hard, but the doctor noted it was all scar tissue which was basically the dead cancer cells. More evidence the chemo is doing its job.
On another note a benefit is being planned. Family and friends are putting the thing together. Since my treatments have happen in Sioux Falls to this point, there have been few extra expenses beyond what is covered by insurance. With having to relocate to Rochester for a while and Andy having to take unpaid time from work, the situation has changed and we are so greatful that people want to help.
I want this to be a fun for all and it sounds like it will be. Mark your calendars for April 21st in Volga, SD. Why Volga? it's fairly centrally located between Carpenter, Brookings, and Sioux Falls. It's a little tough to find a place on short notice and more importantly; small towns are easier to work with on the furnishing of adult beverages.
Check back for more details as it gets closer.
