I wanted to let you know how I'm doing. I had a chest x-ray before starting my 6th round of chemo today. The chest x-ray looked real good. No glaring spots of concern. I had the last three weeks off of chemo to let my body recover. It did! All blood numbers were fine. Scheduled a mri and a cat scan for December 29th. Scan results will determine my treatment for 2005.
The on'gist is leaning towards treatment with chemo (Taxol & Carboplatin) every other week instead of three on and one off. All in all a good day for me. After reading about the ones who lose the battle it's diffucult to enjoy
my good news. Thanks for all the support, prayers and love.
Love Ya All, Danny Boy
