kick the cat

Ok, so no takers on a knitting session. Ladies, I'm bitter about that.

I haven't posted in a while. Not much to report and that's a good thing. This whole blog thing gets a little self centered after a while. "But enough about me! What do you think of my blog?"

I'm doing chemo again about which I am just thrilled. It's going fine. I am having some complications from various things which I am not enjoying and will not go into detail. It's just more information than you all really need. All of this has put me in a really spectacular mood. Several patients have been uppity this week and I was really spoiling for a fight. You know what I mean? I really wanted to let someone have it. Everyone turned out to have simple misunderstandings so I am resigned, as usual, to take my frustrations out on my family. I'd kick the cat but I don't have one.

So the next person that tells me, "My gosh, you're handling this so well!" will probably get the end of my shoe lodged somewhere really creative.

I asked my brother to review my story about Grandma and the Can of Tuna. Is it blog-able? I asked. He said no. Go ahead, Ted. Tell me what you really think. What the hell does he know. I'll revise it and post it later.

Back to the rodeo

Hey gang,
I'm officially off the study. They asked for all the un-used medicine back on Tuesday. I start chemo this Friday at 10:30. I'm going on a medication called Doxil. It is apparently well tolerated by most people. I may need a ride to and from chemo if they plan on treating me with Benadryl. I get real goofy from that stuff.

I missed Knitter's Guild this week and I'm all broke up about that. Anyone want to sit and knit?

No cute title for this one...

CT showed growth of a couple of lesions. Study is over. I will be starting chemo in the next week or so. It's not all bad, I don't have to commune with the commuters on the subway anymore.

(...who am I kidding? This sucks the big whazoo.)

The roller coaster goes up and down, up and down, up and down...

Hi,
I haven't had much new to report. Until last week when some bloodwork came back fairly nasty. I need to get a CT scan in NYC tomorrow. Very good chance I will be out of the study and back on the chemo train since it looks like the miracle drug isn't working any more. We'll see what the scan shows.

If you're wondering whether I think I can handle this with my usual witty aplomb. I think it sucks eggs.

We'll bring you more on this story as the details come in.

You're watching Dr. Bif News. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.
