a day of chemo

Today I start a new chemo treatment. Over a few months it should (may) slow down the tumour growth.

I spend 90 minutes getting beelzebub pumped into my veins. No problems, quite relaxing.

Deb sits with me the entire time. Very nice.

There will be shorter treatments every three weeks, for three months. Then a scan to see if it is helping.

It's a huge scientific/medical advance since the start of my cancer. Not a "winner" but definitely better :-)

And guess what?! It makes *me* feel a lot better!

emotionally.

I came home with the certain knowledge that I could die. Quickly. Within days.

I still could... but...

Something is being *done*

It may work. If it does, it will still be, most optimistic, for two years. It may not work at all.

But... something *is* being done. I'm not just... waiting.

And that is something to be glad about :-)

For a personal rant but not about cancer:

I'm trying to prepare pwmapapp for a large-scale test. But...
