One Week from Now

Okay I officially think 1 week in waiting-to-get-scheduled-time equals like a month in real-time...

Next Thursday 7/28 I'll start the Ipilimumbab (Yervoy) infusion plan. For those of you curious, this is a super new treatment for Melanoma approved by the FDA in May of this year. This will be a lot easier for my body to handle than the IL2 treatments, and since the Melanoma isn't spreading to form new sites, I'm right in the target group for this drug.

More updates as the day approaches and the liquid goodness is stuck into my arm (I hope that's where I get it... since it takes 2 hours for the treatment).

On the personal health side, I've started walking down the local bike path (I'm sure the hard core bike folks love seeing pedestrians there... ) as of yesterday. Of course 1 day is hardly a trend, unless of course you have a political agenda to push, and then it would constitute a commonly held belief and intensely popular dogma which the majority of people have held dear and should be considered as the direction for our societal needs. :)

Bottom line - I'm going walking further today lol.

So lets hope I don't develop any of the super low % of serious side effects which might derail my interest in getting my body healthy and moving again! Between that, processing photos upon which I've been sitting... and playing and recording music, I plan to ensure I'm picking up my mental as well as physical activity.

More to come!

  1. I'd post that hang in there picture with the cat hanging from a limb to make you laugh, but that kind of shit is much better done in person. Maybe I'll drop it off at your house as joke gift...but, seriously. Hang in there and call me if you want to walk together. Chateau Blazer is right along that same bike path...I'll keep you company. :)
