My last treatment on July 16th was a bit more rough on me than the previous ones have been. It started with the usual routine of having my blood drawn and meeting with the doctor. She discussed with us that the direct chemo into my liver might not even be used on me, but if we did need to cross that bridge it wouldn't be for a few months. It was tough after hearing the good news of the previous visit that I'd be doing this regiment of chemo for probably another 6-9 months. After that my body would get a little break from it for a few weeks then go right back on it. We'll just have to wait and see what happens which is tough, but one way or another I have to keep going even if there isn't an end in sight. This round of treatment left me exhausted which was not fun because I pretty much rotated from my bed, to my chair, to the couch, back to my bed for about two and a half days. It was frustrating being so tired because the weather was so nice and I wanted to get out and do things, but small tasks like going to the kitchen to make a meal was like climbing a small mountain. On Sunday I finally felt better and went for a long ride on my motorcycle up to Orange County Choppers who was putting on a car show. It was a good day and finally nice to get outside and enjoy riding through the back roads with their beautiful scenery...This Wednesday we'll be meeting with the people at the genetics clinic to discuss the results and suggestions for the rest of my family so I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that they were able to identify what is causing all of this mess. I hope everyone is doing well...LIVESTRONG
