Better days

First, HOORAY it's Friday!! Was thinking of canceling the few days of vacation I had planned for next week but I don't think I'm going to, the work will be here when I get back. So, we are going out for dinner AGAIN tonight. He is really feeling much better, starts a new IV chemo next Wednesday, has treatments every 2 weeks. Usually what happens he starts a new drug, it works really well for a few months, then his kidney (he only has one) and liver functions start to go haywire and they take him off of it. Then we hit a rough patch, different side effects from the drug and the kidney and liver being off and the cancer starts growing again... Anyway, we will see what we see. Since we know that the cancer is growing fairly rapidly in his lymph system, his bones and the original tumor wrapped around his esophagus, any kind of treatment to fight it is welcome!! But for now we are having some better days and we are going to thoroughly enjoy them... vicki lee
