Well, the good news is that the chemo is working. Lymph nodes are clearly smaller and blood flow has returned to the right arm. I can grip the club and I can finish the swing; I just can't remember where the ball went!
Chemo side-effects are cumulative, so I am feeling it more as we progress through the series. The most prominent side effects are fatigue (like jet lag) and a weak, raspy voice. But no nausea so far.
The doctors want to take advantage of this so we are scheduling 2 to 4 more rounds of R-ICE here in Austin. Since those are 3 weeks apart I may not start transplant until early November now.
Thanks to all of you for caring enough to check in on me. I sincerely appreciate each and every one of you.
Rick
