Went to the city yesterday for Round 12. It was a pretty routine visit other than my meds came up from the pharmacy quickly so we got to take an early train home. I also have an appointment now for my next scan (on May 7th). I’m hoping for more tumor stability which would be an indication of what we used to call “remission” when I was a kid. Now they call it a “progression-free interval”. I have come to despise chemo but when in a long fight, you gotta keep on swinging. My next treatment will mark six months of the stuff - at least the weather is warm so I'm not always freezing!Also, here’s a link to an interesting article from the NY Times today – it quotes my oncologist extensively towards the end.

Just had to make a comment. I hate seeing 0 comments at the end of an article. Glad you had a great time in PR.
Hope Robbie told you who my new customer is. Hint: initials are BS; grew up in Freehold, and is presently on tour. My archives business is picking up - all word of mouth.
Keep your chin up. Your CT will be fine. I'll see you on Tuesday as I head out to PA for 10 days.
Love. Mom
Finally some posting - you went so long without writing that I have stopped checking. jk
Great seeing you guys this week.
Sounds like Puerto Rico was fun, and not as warm as NJ was this weekend! Tell your mom I'll be seeing her client on May 23rd. In the nosebleed section. I hope your scan is progression free, or whatever they call it.
