Banana Dogpatches

In March of 2011 I was diagnosed with metastatic mucosal melanoma. At this point it had spread to my lungs as well as my front right hip lymph node. This blog is my way to share my progress with my family, friends and business associates. Update - early 2012 I had 4 tumors appear in my brain and underwent heavy radiation and surgery which removed the largest and killed the others. Also mid year 2015, a tumor on my adrenal gland and another on my stomach appeared.

Just One Chemo Last Friday

So my last treatment was only the Abraxane, as the results from my tests for getting Carbo Taxol were just close, but not quire where they need to be.

Abraxane - yes

Carbo Taxol - no

Also my blood/hematocrit level was 8.9, which means I'll be transfused with 2 bags of blood, but that won't happen until Monday next week. I go in on Friday to see the usual stuff, and hopefully be able to get both chemos.

Other than that, I plan to try light exercise but only when Ki is home. Light meaning trying 1lb and crawling around (which is not much fun) and doing leg lifts by the sink.

Not much entertainment as of late, but I'm working on the blog to update my experiences more often.
