Major Milestone

I just completed the sixth cycle of  chemo infusions, which means that from now on I will be on a one-drug maintenance regimen. This will be done on a three week schedule and takes only about 2 hours.  The hope and expectation is that it will be with fewer side effects. The first six rounds of the infusion took 7 to 8 hours. There will be an additional CT Scan in the coming three weeks to determine the progress followed by an oncologist visit before the next infusion.
So far everything is turning out much better than the medical profession had anticipated. All my vital signs are normal, I can walk normally, my weight is back to normal, and most of my pants don't slide down to my ankles immediately. Due to a partially collapsed lung, I do tire a little faster which unfortunately shows up on the scores for the second nine holes. Other than that I consider myself a medical wonder, and we are grateful for everyone's support that made healing through positive thinking possible.
Sara, whose office is close to the hospital, usually takes her lunch with us when we visit the infusion room, and this time she was accompanied by Alexandra's Chinchilla, who was sent on a field trip to her Mom's office. For the benefit of my granddaughter, here is the proof Chinchilla was really at the hospital.
