Focused on Thanksgiving

So I had Chemo one again last week and to be honest it I felt the worse afterwards than I have since I moved to Utah.

But I fit a lot better after Saturday past and am back to normal now. I just got back from a quick doctor appointment to check on my blood and everything is going well.

Next Friday I will fly home in the morning to meet with my surgeon only to fly back to Utah right afterwards for work on Saturday.

So everything is on schedule and school is going great and Surgery will be on Jan 6th.

and for Amy I will be returning to Provo somewhere around late March early April.

Doctor's Check Up & Scan

Yesterday (Friday) 

I flew in from Utah to San Diego and arrived at 11:20 and from there went directly to the airport to Children's Hospital where I met with my wonderful Dr. Schiff and had blood work done and talked about the future of my treatment.

I am still going to have surgery on Jan 6th and keep doing chemo until then.

I then went and had a CAT scan. i will update what the results are later.

Happy Halloween everyone.

Because of my bald head I has decided to Mr. Clean.

Random fact: The top #1 song on Billboard the day I was born was Funkytown. That may explain things.

KIMO!

So once again it was time to go get some chemo for my body.

Everything went smoothly I had good blood counts and good pee.

So just some updating information:

I will have check up scans on October 30th

and my surgery has been scheduled for January 6th, 2010

So that is how my future looks right now.

I also wanted answer a few questions from my readers

Deidre my flu shot did leave my arm a little pain for a few days after.

And For Kelsey

The cancer I have is called Ewings Sarcoma it is a bone cancer. But right now for me it is in my lungs and on top of my left diaphram.

So that is that.

Shots: 120

Pills: 290

Blood

Went and had blood work today.

Nothing special they just wanted to see how my counts were responding to the new chemos.

They came back normal and excited.

they made me get a flu shot.

The End.

All New Chemo

So this last Friday I was given in all new chemo to try to continue to shrink the cancer.

The new chemo takes a lot longer to infuse into my body. My old regiment only took like a hour and a half and this new regiment takes 3+ hours. So it was a much longer day at the hospital than I was use to.

I am also for the first time taking oral chemo treatments. I take to pills each night, which I started on Friday and will take them until Tuesday night. so far I have not really had any major side effects from the new treatment.

So that is all that is going on in the Cancer World.

Happy Monday!

Catch up

A lot has happen since I last posted. I have had two rounds of chemo, a CAT Scan, and met with my favorite Dr. Schiff. So I finished that second round of chemo today, and I am now 80 percent moved into my new apartment. It will be glorious to have my own room and bathroom.

Thank you father.

Well I also finished six credits of school and got a A- and a B+ so I can complain that was my first classes since taking my eight month vacation. I forgot how fun it was to read textbooks and stress over assignments and test. But it sure is better than the alternative.

Well thats all for now.

Rock on and if you are in provo and want to kick it. Give me a yell

Chemo

I had chemo once again yesterday (Thursday). For the first time since I moved back to Utah I did not have to push back my treatment due to poor blood results. So it was nice to get that done and out of the way.

To celebrate I went and ate sushi! Oh so good.

School ends in about 2 weeks so that will be my life until my next round of chemo.

Thats all.
