thanks @gman007 / appreciate the concern / not to overanious about the meeting because that is turning into a weekly thing for blood measurements / the big day will come a week after chemo 4 when we do a PET scan to measure the achieved results for the first time / the other issue is ongoing and its the diarrhea not being under control / its figuratively sucking the life out of me / down about 35 pounds since January / ughhhh and not sure where we're going with it / maybe next week after the colonoscopy we'll have a positive correction plan / praying and hoping
