Hi Tom,
I have been away from here for a while. My brother traveled here for a visit. Although we wanted to golf, we could not. Well, we did get out for a couple of 9 holes, but we wanted to play in the senior men's. Anyway, it was a great visit.
Stephen came here to be with me for my first chemo treatment. It went well in that there were no terrible side effects. Who knows what is really happening inside. Did have a consult with a nutritionist and she told me that the main goal is to get as much protein into me as possible. So I have enhanced smoothies (add protein powder). It actually tastes pretty good.
My cancer is supposed to be inoperable and fast growing so I do not know what to expect. I do see my GP on Monday. We will see what he has to say.
I hope that you are as well as you can be. Take care, Glenn

@gvk911 It is great that you got to spend time with your brother. Being around family and friends help. At this point, it seems the plan is to stick with the chemo until further tests/scans evaluate its effectiveness correct? Protein smoothies can be quite yummy and a great way to get the extra protein. I make one most mornings.
