No nausea! The picture of health.


Wednesday morning at my brother’s house in Oakland started with a nice fresh cup of coffee and kisses [and white dogs hairs all over my black clothes] from Emma.  I don’t think I will ever plan on what to wear.  I get up and my style demon says “Black!”  I have a reputation [ask the Walters] of wearing a white shirt whenever we have ribs or something with marinara sauce… anything that can stain.  I am feeling quite normal today, even after some indulgence last night.  Two dear friends from long ago came over for pizza and reminiscences.  Our dinner was accented with several wines and artisanal brews and capped with a little moonshine [ARK: the gift that keeps on giving].
My appointment with Dr. Mannis was very upbeat and encouraging.   My blood-work  was everything he’d hoped for and we discussed the remaining protocol.  I have a PET scan on the 1st of October that, he feels, will show that the bulky disease in my abdomen is virtually invisible [I suspect there will still be some but I am stoked] and the others will have gone the way of the neck lump.  I forgot to ask about my spleen. Next time.
The treatment was the same and I slept through it all.  My next session is 10/11 October and then 6/7 November.  That may be it for some time!  If all goes as planned then I will be screened in 4 to 6 weeks spacing further apart as will allow to keep track of any recurrence.  More tomorrow.
