Hello Tom
Well it went ok.. they had trouble finding a vein. They finally did, but it left me with a bruiser. Also, the one particular chemo I think it’s called Abraxone, was not available. they just gave me the gems. AreThey did not get their delivery because of inclement weather other than that, my labs were OK and I hope to catch up with the abraxane next week Wednesday, I believe it is. I don’t feel too good right now. I guess it’s the beginning round two I hope you have a wonderful evening and that you’re not freezing the way we are here in the east God bless you,, pvctom

Good luck with your treatment. I'm beginning year 4 out here in Southern California. I hope you have a good provider; thats the key. Make sure you have your iced booties and mittens during treatment. I'm off chemo now (gem-abraxane) as I was on 3 weeks in a row and it gave me severe inflammation of bladder and I also got internal neuropathy which I didn't even know was possible. I'm told it's a rare side effect. Taking gabapentin now for it; hope it works and I'll find out next week if I can continue a maintenance level of chemo. Chemo is my only hope (where is RMC 6236 when you need it?) as the cancer has spread to the abdominal peritoneum and gem/abraxane is the only solution for that, as far as I know. Still trying to enjoy life; make sure you have a good support group and prayer.
