And then there were 2

Treatment went fine this morning and seemed pretty quick.  Saw Dr. Z too.  Everything continues to go well and I will meet with her in January to review every thing that has been going on, and where we go from here since treatment is done in two weeks.

The clinical trial was unblinded and I have been receiving the BEVA (Avastin) all through treatment which I think we all felt I was based upon the side affects, bloody nose, taste bud problems, etc.  I was in the 2nd arm of the trial and did not get randomized to see if I continue or not.  I am officially done with the BEVA and my next two treatments will only be the Taxol.  Lots of questions for Dr. Z and I will begin to do a list so I don't forget. 

I bought a couple new nutrition and cook books because I have been reading lots of better health and I think I am going to go vegan and all natural.   Yes I am - okay maybe NOT!   But I am going to pay much closer attention and get as healthy as I can.  It may not keep reoccurence from happening but it will sure make treatment much easier to deal with and I have found first hand how important that is.  My hair continues to grow out alittle and I have not been wearing hats at work.  I am getting a lot more conversation from co-workers, etc.  I think they feel if I am unveiling my head I must be ready to make it more open and public.  Like I was trying to hide under my hat so I didn't have to address it.  Really, I was just concerned about how weird I looked with a bald shiny head.  My hair still looks weird, it just is not totally bald and shiny. 

Wow, I seem to have lots to talk about.  I am feeling ready for the turn around and one less thing to be anxious about. I was fearful I would be selected to continue to BEVA for another 6 months and then have to make a decision which I would probably have decided to continue because that is who I am.  I think I just received a message from above telling me I have done good, and it is my turn to move on for myself.

I continue to appreciate and thank all of you you keep me in your thoughts and prayers.  Nothing more powerful then people getting together and thinking positive.
