Blogging in B Minor

Quick Post – I received the dictation yesterday and Dr. Mitchel Berger agrees that the tumor appears to be quite stable and at this point the therapy using Temodar for the 6-month period which is the standard of care is the best course of action with scans every 60-90 days. He didn’t have any other observations other than to continue to watch this very closely. That is great news of course to have them concur with the findings on this end. Dr. Berger didn’t feel that it was even necessary to have the tissue analyzed by the UCSF pathology lab. It was a good report.

I’ve been fighting a flu or something – I had the chills over the weekend and a fluctuating temperature so I did a battery of lab work because if I have anything going on it could delay my next round of chemo due to begin Thursday night. I should have results back shortly. I’m starting to feel better but the weekend wasn’t so great. It’s harder to fight things off when your cell counts are down to begin with.

Other than that things are good. I’m just moving forward with the program. I’ve played some music and actually have the music for a song in the bag – it has been for 2-3 weeks and I mentioned it in another post. It’s more of a rocker but I haven’t had any time to write lyrics let alone cut vocal tracks. I’m not too worried about it though. My priorities are a little different at the moment!
