Nearly forgot to report here - not much of interest to relate. The bad blood test got a bit worse, but at a much reduced rate. So, Dr. Abonour decided no need to change the regimen of three weeks on, one week off, to see if there is a decrease when I next report on or about August 15.
This disease is confusing. I had four really blah days prior to last Tuesday. That afternoon I struggled to nap, swallowed an oxycodone, slept for about 90 minutes and awakened feeling better than I have for months. Tuesday night I slept for nearly eight hours - neither Mary Ann nor I can remember my having slept that long. Consequently, I saw Dr. Abonour feeling very well, nothing to complain about.
Last night, struggled to get to sleep, unusual, and when I did, slept for just over three hours. I did nothing different from Tuesday, same activity, much the same food, same bed, different result. The point is, every day is a surprise, with my having no control over the result.
Mary Ann and I are about to leave for Wabash to join some of my remaining classmates to celebrate our 65th graduation from high school. We are now at the age when you quit lying and start bragging about it.
Hope all is well with you. I continue to believe, despite having cancer, that I am doing very well.
