John's Radiation/Chemo Day 3, April 2

I think I have administrator rights at last! Thanks to my patient brother-in-law, Greg.

I seem to be settling into the radiation and chemotherapy routine and tolerating both well. I read that the chemo effect can be cumulative (it builds as it goes). Karen and I are monitoring its effects on my system as slosely as we can (in a non-medical way). I am still a bit nervous about stepping up the chemo dose after the radiation is done in 6 weeks. Radiation is a piece of cake. I trust it's doing its thing.

I had a conversation yesterday with a radiology oncologist, Brian, in California. He is a good friend of my sister Mary Anne and her husband, Paul. He provided me with specific, useful information. he has added to my expectation for success. A brilliant mind committed to healing is a beautiful thing.

Short post tonight. I need some rest. I'll be blogging again soon. Keep the Faith. I am.
