A couple of people have noted that I haven’t added a new
post for a while, and they correctly assume it means that all is well. Jana’s CML continues to respond to Gleevec,
and my tumors have remained stable or perhaps even shrunk a little.
As of yesterday, I’ve had 12 pemetrexed infusions, one every
three weeks, since late August. I’ve
had it so many times that I can almost predict my side effects to the hour they
begin. As I’ve noted before, the
treatment is nothing like the cisplatin and pemetrexed regimen I had in Temple,
but it’s getting old. I feel the need
for a break to let my body recover some strength, so I’m going to discuss it
with my oncologist in three weeks. I
had a four month break last summer with no apparent problems, so I hope it works
out a well this year.
