Saturday Morning

I am a little nervous about going to the tailgate and seeing people who all know what is going on and have not seen me yet this season.  I know I will be fine once I am there, but I just don't want to spend the entire day talking about it.  Then the cancer becomes the topic and I don't like it consuming the day.  Hopefully, I can acknowledge the well wishes, then move on to the food and ballgame.

Dr. Zon was pleased with all my progress and lack of any side effects.  She did explain why I am doing the "dense dose" treatment.  She said treatment used to be every 3 weeks.  Then they reduced to every 2 weeks and patients responded well and liked it because it got them done sooner.  Then the last phase they reduced to every week and again found patients did well and reduced the treatment time in half.  She has no doubt I will be okay with the weekly treatment.  I then asked for chemo to be on Friday morning allowing me to miss just one day of work, have the rest of Friday, Saturday, and then Sunday to recoup and back to work on Monday.  She thought that was a good idea and so my treatment calendar will reflect that.  My weekly treatment will start the 3rd Friday of October.  It does come back to attitude and so if I know I will be fine - I will be.
