I can't believe it's been so long since I have blogged. Guess I've been busy! I will try to post a few today to catch up.
Round 22 was pretty straightforward although again long delays. I think I waited about 2 1/2 hours to meet with Dr. S. The problem was that he had to cover another doctor's patients and some folks evidently had some significant issues he needed to look into. He also mentioned to me that the back up may get worse before it gets better because there is evidently a new regulation that will require the chemo drugs to be mixed under a sterile hood. This means that MSK will have to source the chemicals from the main hospital on 68th street and have them transported to the clinic (where I get treatment) on 53rd street.
As for my treatment, my scans have been stable and the side effects more manageable for the last few cycles. I asked about re-evaluating my treatment plan - but that conversation will have to be at my next session this Thursday. I did tell Dr. S that, as much as I hate saying this - I'm willing to stay the course on treatment and not keep asking him for a break since it seems to be working and I seem to be coping. But I'm hoping he'll say I can take a break anyway...

I have been waiting to hear from you so I was glad when you explained that you didn't have time for this. That is great news because I know that you are feeling better. I wish for you that this is always the case. Love, Aunt Fran
