Due to a combination of the holidays and feeling like crap, I haven’t written in a while. Anyway, so, now, as time marches on, chemo session #8 has come and gone - three-quarters of the way through. I can’t wait for this to be over. I even had a reprieve this time. This session had no Oxilaplatin, which unknown to me until now, was the cause of my low blood levels (and plenty of other side-effects I knew about too) but those low levels mean I need the boost of neulasta and neumega. So this time, no shots, which should be relieving my fatigue, and it has, but not by much by my measure. It’s just a waiting game now - four more sessions or nine more weeks. I hope I can make it all the way. Luckily right now I’m on holiday from work so no worries there, but after this session, I’m not sure how much time I can spend at the office - Wednesday may fall next.

Wow. You have come a long way, Ray. But now you’re in the homestretch. Can’t wait to have you back in the office.
