Treatment Timeframe Correction
In my post yesterday I mentioned that I should be ending my chemo treatment at the end of February. Unfortunately, today I was informed that there will be another 6 cycles added on to the treatment.(6 cycles = 12 weeks) That will take me to the end of April for the chemo, then the month of May will be radiotherapy. Well it is longer than I expected, but what is another 12 weeks in comparison to a much longer life to enjoy Amy, Olivia and so many other wonderful people and experiences. I do have to say that it is odd going into the hospital for my first treatment, but I'm feeling pretty good physically and emotionally at the moment. I have lots of energy, I'm eating well, and I'm keeping up with Olivia who motors round the house like an F1 race car. Knowing tomorrow they are going to inject me with medication that can revere this feeling is a bit odd, but tests don't lie. Gotta do it. One last note. Amy, Olivia and I went to a photographer today to have our family photos done before the hair goes bye bye. It was a great time. Olivia is a character. Definitely gets her personality from Amy.

Looking forward to see the pics!! hair will grow back. by the way, some people look really sexy when they are bald and hairless. Well, Amy will have a "2nd" husband for some months then, groovey! 3months is like 1 season, you can skip winter for that, and then you will be ready by spring time!! Just nice! goes with your name and we can have a "Double Spring" party at that time!

Gday Brian, everyone I meet here in Vegas is asking after you. They all send their best wishes, and so do I. It's good to hear that your treatment has started, and I know you will get through this! I'll call you when I get back, and let us know if you want to catch up, anytime.
ReplyDeleteCheers! Paul S.
Brian - you know you'll probably look a lot better without hair!!! Have a competition with Olivia to see who will have the most hair by next Christmas!
