October already

Where has this year gone? I can't believe it's October already. Seems like yesterday that I was planning for our Europe trip. I guess we'll have to start packing for our Liberty of the Seas cruise soon. I'm thinking we'll probably just take the same things we took to Las Vegas and Texas since we've decided to skip formal nights on this cruise. It will be nice to soak up the Caribbean sun while it's chilly at home in November.

I'm hanging in there but it hasn't been wonderful. I had a headache for three days and nothing I took helped it. The headache is gone now but I still have the drippy sinuses and the cough, and today my stomach is upset. I still have to watch for fever and infections, because it can take up to two to three weeks for my blood counts to drop. What fun. Other than that, I'm feeling okay, getting lots of sleep (9-11 hours a night), and enjoying my working at home. Next Tuesday we have an appointment with the other radiation oncologist, whom Dr. K has given her seal of approval. I'm still waiting to hear from my local oncologist about the Zometa treatment and setting up future Doxil treatments in-network.

I'll be back to report on the meeting with the radiation oncologist.
