Cancer: still boring

I realize that I never blogged about chemo round 7, and here it’s only a couple days until round 8. It was… unexceptional. I felt lousy, I slept a lot, I felt better. My platelets were up and my liver was better, so no issues with getting the treatment. I expect that a round with lower dosage helped both. I didn’t really want to think or talk about it; I can go whole minutes without thinking about cancer sometimes, and, well. Sometimes not paying attention for a while is the way to go.

I had an MRI last week, and it confirmed the shrinkage seen in the CT scan: primary tumor half the length it originally was (so much reduced in volume. So that’s good. All of the scans have been sent to the surgeon, and I’m just waiting on her and the tumor board to decide what happens to me next.

I have a whole pile of links and other things, but I’ll save those for a non-cancer post so the good and the bad don’t get shuffled together.
