Maybe Chemo or Cancer is reading this blog and got a little tired of me going on about how nice things were and how easy it's been? This last treatment really seemed to get me, nothing too dramatic, but certainly much worse than its been for the last two months. My hair seems to have resumed its run for the exits as well...a sorry state of affairs on the top of my head, with some lonely holdouts left to jockey for position when I try to pull of the miracle comb-over. I've taken to wearing a hat when I can, which does mean work on a lot of days...but c'mon, things really aren't very bad at all; I've never gotten physically ill, missed very little work, and been fortunate to continue living with a very full schedule and having a wonderful summer - so, please don't feel bad if I look a little bald, or tired, this whole thing really has been much smoother than any of us would have expected.
Final treatment is 8 days away; again, I cannot wait to walk out of there on the 8th, with Kristina there to greet me and bring me home, having completed chemo. It's a milestone and I'm looking forward to heading out to the Vineyard with my fiance at the end of the month to celebrate completion, and possibly getting together with some friends in the interim to clink a glass or two and look forward to the future.
All else is well, looking forward to my dad coming home at the end of the week, I'm going to start calling him Batman as he'll be basically confined to a cave for 6 weeks or so. My youngest brother Kevin will be home for a week, starting the 6th, which will be great and I am looking forward to some golf this weekend with a big group of buddies from BC - life down here on Cape Cod is pretty good!
Enjoy your weeks and weekends and I'll see you all soon, Gary
