The Day Before Chemo Treatment 6

Wow!  I can't believe it has been almost two whole weeks since I've posted anything on here.  A lot has happened in those two weeks, so let's get started!

After my last treatment, I returned to work on Thursday instead of taking the rest of the week off.  I paid for it because I came down with a small cold.  Luckily, I was seeing the oncologist on Monday anyway, so he gave me some antibiotics to help with what he thought was turning into a bronchial infection.  I feel better now and am preparing for treatment tomorrow.

The school year officially ended on Thursday, so Ion Friday I found myself on the wrong end of the unemployment line.  Hopefully, it is just procedure and I should have my job back in the fall.

Friday night, Rachel and I went to the Hollywood Bowl for the 10th Anniversary of their Hall of Fame Induction ceremony.  It was a great night with great music and a guest appearance from Dame Edna.  The evening included performances from Trisha Yearwood and Josh Groban and concluded with John Williams directing the orchestra (to the Star Wars Theme) as fireworks shot off overhead.

Saturday night, we had my mom, dad, brother, sister-in-law, & nephew over for Father's Day dinner.  I'll have pictures to post of some of the food selections later.  The menu included homemade sliders, chicken wings, and milk shakes.  A good time was had by all!

As I said earlier, tomorrow is another treatment day for me.  If you've noticed, I'm now getting treatments on Mondays.  This is because we are flying out to Michigan on Wednesday.  We'll be there for a week and are looking forward to the relaxation that comes with vacation.  Hopefully the chemo & flight doesn't beat me up too much!  

I'll try to post at least an update on my blood counts either tomorrow or Tuesday, and as soon as I get the pictures I'll put them here...including one of my brother in a Laker shirt (long story).
