UPDATE JULY 8TH 2005

It has been a while since I posted. Been feeling ok since my last treatment. I probably tolerated this last better than any of them. I'm sure getting close to the end helps too. Three more days until Chemo # 8. That is the last one. Radiation will begin soon. Don't really not what to expect. Been doing a lot of research. Im not sure that helps. Some say don't do it. Some say do it. I say, if they have a way to cure me and significantly reduce the chance of relapse Im doing it. I trust my doctor he is probably one of the best around. He has discussed side effects and said they are low. He said being a male involves a lot less risk than being female when it comes to radiation. I will have an increased chance of secondary cancers, and leukemia but the chances are very low and usually occur a long way down the road. The positive thing is it kills cancer and thats what we are worried about right now. I am going to put some information on the blog about radiation and about the treatments when I find out more. Have to go give myself a shot. FUN
