No chemo this week. I was supposed to get my final dose of Cycle Four, but my bone marrow has turned to crap (i.e. my platelets are < 60 000) so we will ait a couple of weeks to reassess the situation. In the meantime, I feel great and had a great Christmas in LA with the family. Then I flew to Boise and had a great 24 hours, the best of it was coming from behind to beat Univ of Virginia in OT in the MPC Bowl.
So, its off to Erna's Elderberry House for NYE and another year begins.
Thanks foro your support!

Well we are back on track. I am now on cycle IV-B - second weekly treatment of the fourth cycle and things have gone smoothly. My bone marrow-platelets are getting a bit thin so IV-C may need to be modified, but so far so good.
I won't know where I stand until after the new year when we do some more tests, but I feel pretty good.
There are no new pictures to show, but I suspect there may be one or two after Christmas in LA.
Anyway, the round of office Holiday parties are over, our shopping is mostly done, Holiday Cards mailed and passage to Boise for the MPC Bowl on 12/27 is secured.

Early Tuesday Morn 12/14
Last week we (the nurse and I) decidded to hold off on chemotherapy. My PSA had blipped up a bit and my Chemo-Doc was in South America. Friday, my PSA had edged up a tad more and there is some uncertainty as to why. While on holiday in Santa Barbara I developed a urinary infection (I will spare you the details) but the changes may well be due to infection. In any event we decided to go with Course IV AND load me up on antibiotics and worry about it next year.
For some reason the chemo affected me different this time - more nausea for several days, less muscle aches, and weird mouth taste.
Having been off chemo for two weeks I was able to determine that any illness I experience is definitely from the WOD (chemo) and not due to my "disease".
In any event, I am excited about the holidays: see the family Christmas, Boise for football 12/27 and New Years dinner at Erna's - yes, life has been good to me so far.
I do not know if this will work, but you might click this to hear Marlee recite the SSBanner. MARLEE
No photos this week.
