Richmond and Round 10

It’s been quite a long time since I’ve written so I will make several entries today starting with Round 10 which was back on March 24. The chemo was pretty much routine. I didn’t see my regular onc but got a substitute. I asked him to take me off Avastin to let my fissure heal (Avastin suppresses healing) but he didn’t want to change the protocol of another doctor. So I agreed to take another dose.

On my off weekend (which is at the end of the two week cycle), our family went to Richmond to see some friends. It was the kids’ spring break so they were up for a long weekend. The kids got to see their old school chums (in fact, David had a sleepover just about every night we were there). We got together with a couple of families for dinner and I saw my former colleagues from Genworth. It was a great weekend and we even snuck in some good southern barbeque!

We got home in time to host both Passover and Easter at our house. I enjoy the holidays because they always involve good food and family time. I made a new gefilter fish recipe which my 6 year old nephews actually liked! They thought it was chicken! So that was a culinary success for us. In all, it was a very good week.
