5th Chemo

Today was my fifth infusion of the Avastin / CPT-11. The Oncologists office has made the appointment for the next MRI for August 28th in the afternoon. A little scary.. Sherri call's it PMS (Pre MRI Syndrome) It will tell us how well the Chemo has worked so far. It was also nice hearing Dr. Congdon say that the severe chills and joint pain that I have had the last 2 weeks are "classic text-book symptoms of the Avastin" Feels a lot like Flu / Fever to me. Thank God for Ibuprofen which helps.

Sherri and I had a small private infusion room this time which allowed me a 2 hour nap in the recliner and Sherri a opportunity to finish "A Change of Heart" A book she has been reading.

With Love a ad Thanks to All of you.
