Just a quick note since it's been a while. I had chemo (Round 13) last Thursday. More importantly, I got the results of my scan. It shows no change. While I will admit I was hoping for more, Dr S pointed out that cancer's goal is to grow. So, showing no growth means that the chemo is working.
Round 13 marks my six month anniversary of being on chemo. It's still a grind but I suppose I'm getting used to it. In a couple of months, I may be given a "chemo holiday" to rest my liver (evidently chemo is hard on your liver but my levels have been stable from the start). Anyway, I thought I'd let you all know that no change is good and I'm still here. In the meantime, I am switching from short term disability to long term disability and social security disability. This means a lot of forms to fill out but I don't expect any issues. It's a little odd being out of work for so long - and I'm not sure how long it will really be. But, when I have energy, I have been doing a little gardening - see pic above from the garden. Be well! BB

Hi Brian
Your photo is great. I can see that it was one of the lime green hosta. Here's a new career for you. Obviously, we can drum up some nature photo outlets. Try some birds next. I should have left you the longer lense. Enjoy! Love, Mom
Dear Brian, I couldn't wait for the blog entry so I got the news from Robbie. I'm glad the invasion has not advanced. Gardening is such a wonderful soul restoring activity. Enjoy the quiet time. Sending love and healing- W
Hey Brian,
Through the miracle of the internet and social networking I just reconnected to your SIL Cathy. She filled me in with whats going on and your blog. I'll go back to the beginning and read what you wrote but I just wanted to let you know that Julie and I are thinking about you and wishing you well. When you are feeling better we'd love to see you guys again.
I'm also shocked to see that Vicki is no longer three feet tall. I shouldn't but I am.
Ps. I'm pissed that you never let us know that you moved to Virginia, or moved back for that matter.
Oh I've been using my Hebrew name online... it's Chris O.
