Rock 'n Roll

My dad’s back home and doing well after his latest trip to Boston, where they detected no major problems and are contemplating his next round of treatments, etc. He is still very tired and not 100% but my folks are relieved that there are no major complications with that previous procedure and they can now focus on what’s next in the treatment pipeline – looks like possibly Erbitux again or another round of Chemo, no rest for the weary!

I have now completed 5 of 8 treatments, am feeling physically strong and ready to push hard to the finish line and put this chapter of my life behind me. I felt great all day today; spent the day over at our new location in Falmouth getting things set-up for our opening on Monday – lots of lifting, moving, cleaning, etc. and I really felt strong. Went and got my shot of NeuLasta after I got done there and am looking forward to a great weekend, with some great friends.

At the outset we believed that the Chemo had a cumulative effect, meaning it was presumed I would slowly degrade as the treatments wore on, however now that I am over halfway done it appears to me that my body is actually getting used to the treatment and the drugs and I am actually feeling better with each successive treatment…knock on wood with that statement but I really can’t believe how good I have felt.

So tomorrow it’s another full day of work and then hopefully a cookout at a friend’s house tomorrow night, followed by golf on Saturday with the boys from BC (Bugbee, Neil, Dave) and then we meet up with the ladies for an afternoon on the Cape. Sunday may squeeze in a little more golf and then it’s time for our weekly drubbing in Softball, though I can feel a win coming in the not too distant future, maybe that will be my good news to report from the weekend?

Hope all is well with all of you, talk soon…Gary
