I know I've been bad about updates, so here we go. I am 3 treatments away from being done, and that should happen in late September. I can hardly wait. For the most part, things are going well. I've had a delayed reaction to my treatment medication Rituxan, so my blood counts have been very low. The latest issue is my white count - if I don't get it fixed soon, Ted and I will miss our long-planned Caribbean cruise. I've got a week and half before we'll have to cancel. I was given a pretty potent medication to stimulate my bone marrow - not a pleasant thing, but I'm hopeful it will do it's thing and work.
I've been trying to get back to a somewhat normal life, which isn't always easy - too many doctor's appointments. I am back to working (too much) at my job, but did have the opportunity to fly a small helicopter recently.
I have been biking, and did a 20 mile ride on Sunday. I finished, but it took 2 days to recover. The MS 150 ride from Houston to Austin is this weekend and I can't help but compare myself to the shape I was in just 2 years ago and was able to complete the 165 mile bike ride.
Keep your fingers and toes crossed I can go on my cruise. More later.
