Flurry of Activity

Dave & I left Elliott around 4 am this morning. We hopped off I-57 long enough to stop at Casey’s in Neoga. We continued through the little town of Sigel before we hopped back on the interstate. We enjoy reminiscing about who we know from the small towns from our 4-H House and Nabor House days at the University of Illinois. (Jane and Brad for the win today.)

My labs are looking good and we had a good appointment with my team.

Today is treatment 87. Amazing. Before #88 in 3 weeks I will have a brain MRI and visit radiation oncology, get a bone scan, and get a chest/ab/pelvic CT. It’s time to see if brain surgery, brain radiation, and the new chemo pills have knocked everything back into control again. I am still slowly weaning onto Capecitabine (Xeloda). It had better be working because the side effects are not fun.

We’ll get out of here in time today to get lunch at Blue City Deli. The weather is gorgeous today so I may be able to get a glimpse of the Budweiser Clydesdales today, too, as we pass the brewery to get to the deli. It’s been so hot this summer that they haven’t been outside when we have been here.

There are several trips to St Louis coming up with all these medical appointments. We will enjoy our time together and hope that the cancer is back in check again.

UPDATE

The horses are out and lunch was delicious.
