This is a short and informative article that describes simply how regular cells become cancer cells: http://info.cancerresearchuk.org/cancerandresearch/learnaboutcancer/whatiscancer/howdocellsbecome/?a=5441 It was written and published on a UK website, so the spelling will be a little unfamiliar, but I found it interesting.
I finally started to feel like myself on Saturday, a week after treatment. I rescheduled my next treatment to Wednesday the 10th from Friday the 13th, as I knew there was no way I would be able to have treatment on Friday and then travel to Florida the next day. It will make for a tough Thursday and Friday, since I'll have to come into the city and I'm usually home resting, but better to suffer through that than potentially not be able to get to that cruise.
The Nexium doesn't seem to be making a significant difference in my coughing, but I'm not sure how long it takes to really kick in. I'll be calling the ENT on Wednesday about the results so I have time to fill a prescription if necessary before we leave.
After having 10 inches of snow fall on Monday, by Friday the temperatures were in the 50s, Saturday it reached 74 and yesterday it was a cloudy 64. This week we will be back in the mid to upper 40s, but I suppose that was a little taste of Spring. My butt is dragging today as I try to get accustomed to the time change, which always throws me for a loop at this time of year.

We received some sad news Friday evening. Our former dog, Spot, has a malignant tumor on one of his front legs. The tumor has its own significant blood supply, so surgery is out of the question, although his vet said that if he were 3 instead of about to turn 12, he may have considered amputation. His new owners, Bill and Kathy (with whom we boarded him when we traveled and who own two other greyhounds), have decided to do nothing since the leg doesn't seem to be bothering him at this point. I'm looking forward to visiting him next month. Here's a photo of him in case you never had the pleasure of meeting him while he lived with us:
He's such a cutie!
