It has been a long time dear reader since my last update. Mostly that was due to an absence of news. The June 2020 PET scan had showed effectively no change. I had another PET scan in September 2020 and it showed a progression of the disease, a new spot had lit up on the […]

Changes “not”
I had a PET scan on Tuesday and got the results today. It is generally good news, there was not change in size or activity since the last scan, so things are at least not going backward. I would have preferred some improvement, but will take what I get. My blood work is all pretty […]
Tough times ahead
I has been a long while since my last post. At the time I was waiting on a PET scan. The results of the scan were good. Although there was no reduction in size of any of the sites, there was reduced activity in the site where there had been increased activity previously. That site […]
Still going
I am starting to lose track now, but we are still going. No news really. The treatments are pretty routine at this point and my next PET scan is on 3/13 (Friday the 13th) so hopefully it will be a luck day for me. I should have results by the next week’s treatment. Miss Isabella […]
Series 4?
So it has been awhile since my last post. The Hawaii trip last November was very nice. It was relaxing and took me away from my routine which was awesome. Since then, there has been a fair amount of news. I had a PET scan at the end of December. The results were mixed, with […]
Series 3 – Round 9 Complete
The last few weeks were a bit of a whirlwind. I spent 2 weeks in Hawaii, first for a conference (work) and then for vacation. The conference went well and I made some valuable connections. The vacation part was excellent and I really got to feel normal for a little bit. Being in a place […]
Series 3 – Round 8 Complete
The weekend went really well. I was up and about by 10AM on Saturday and made it out to get my daily cappuccino before noon. That is a great improvement over the previous weekends where I was wiped out Friday night and much of Saturday. I am hoping this is a result of the different […]
Series 3 – Round 8 in progress
About 90 minutes left on this dose. I got switched back to the older style pump, so it is literally clockwork. Isabella saw the Vet last Saturday and had labs drawn. Her numbers were improved, matching her increased energy level and grooming. She has had the guardian duty for the last 2 days and has […]
Series 3: Round 7 Complete
Last week was round 7. It went well, pretty much like round 6. The fatigue is setting in earlier on Friday than before, but runs it main course in about 24 hours, so by Saturday afternoon I was up and about, but not running any marathons. The infusion ball / pump is still running fast, […]
Series 3 – round 6: 1 week later
After a week, I am feeling pretty normal. Some additional thinning of the hair, and a little bit of some mild nausea occasionally, but otherwise things are looking OK. Isabella has also improved (to my eyes). She is eating plenty and mostly the correct food. She is still less energetic than she used to be, […]
