Went to M.D. Anderson Tuesday and saw a new doctor. She is a medical oncologist as opposed to the surgical oncologist that I’ve been seeing. This appointment was to discuss chemo options. She went over two different regimens with me. The one I’m going with will be a three week cycle including an infusion and two weeks of 7 pills a day with a week off before it repeats. This will go on for three to six months.

I had another follow up on Monday, March 15. The surgeon says that things are still progressing nicely. The only hiccup is that I had lost weight since my previous visit. So, I am going to have to work on that.

Sorry I haven’t been keeping this up to date. I’ll try to be better in the future.
In the meantime, I’ll try to bring things up to date.

The surgery was on 1/13 and went well. They released me on 2/8. I had a follow up appointment with my surgeon on 2/18 and h said that things looked very good for where I was out of the surgery. Saw him again yesterday and he is still please with my recovery so far.

I will try to remember to post any significant updates here as they happen.
