Another good report!  Everything I'm experiencing with treatment side effects is apparently my normal and eventually most of them will subside.  My blood levels are an odd mixture of good and bad.  The good is my crit is up to 32; now we must keep it up and build it even higher.  The bad is my protein levels are way off which is also causing the major portion of the lymphedema.  I need to walk a bit more, keep my legs elevated when sitting and sleeping and wear T.E.D. stockings.  As for the nausea and super fatigue they are simply due to the radiation, so I should continue to take the anti-nausea meds and sleep when I want to.  Finally, she had me switch to topical benedryl instead of capsules.

All in all Dr. C says "Wow!  Good job and let me see you in December."

Thank you LORD for seeing me thus far on this journey!

Listen to the MUSTN'TS

Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me--
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.

- Shel Silverstein
