Trials – Part Deux
Had to come back to get chemo since yesterday (Thursday 1-14-2021) my white counts were too low. Long day, but easy.
1-14-2021 – First Day, New Clinical trial.
Part 1 – Part 2 will be published tomorrow, if I’m up to it. 😉 Did you know you can subscribe to these updates in a weekly email? Scroll to the bottom to subscribe!
Bummer
Here’s a video update.
Changes
Sorry, I’ve missed a few weeks. Actually – I have a video post I haven’t put up yet, maybe I’ll do that later and backdate it. Been kinda busy, and not really in the mood. Tuesday was my last chemotherapy treatment at the VA, for now anyway. Not sure what the future holds right now, …
A New Direction?
Well, I’ve had my visit with Dr. Dhakal, and he’s thinking I’m still a good candidate for the clinical trial, so he’s got me on the list and I’ll be up for consideration in January.

A Non-Event
Good morning, Readers. I had a Chemo appointment today, and unlike most the trip there and back was a little different (in my mind, anyway). This appointment was during the Democratic National Convention held in Milwaukee and located very close to the interstate exchange I typically use to get to the VA. Though delegate attendance …
Steady as she goes.
Greetings, readers. A few more weeks have passed – another round of chemo – and depending on my numbers this time (should know in a few days) I might get to increase the time between doses. Not exactly a remission mind you, but better. :). We think we’ve gotten ahead of the ‘fever’ thing – …
