Long Live Summer Vacation

Having raced home from Maine to have a scan and visit with the onc, I was certain that the time had come to buck up and start treatment again.  In fact, all indications were that my "treatment-free" interval was over.  However, despite continued tumor growth and a few failing numbers on my blood work, it seems that there is still some margin for me to stay off the juice.

Dr. S has given me clearance to remain "au naturale" for the summer with a scan and - shall I say certain? - return to chemotherapy in September.  I am glad, and quite surprised, to get the extra time....but boy am I gonna do my best to enjoy this summer!

For any number hounds out there, the larger tumors now measure about 1.8 inches in diameter....BB
