21 July 2021

 


     I went to the hospital today and Dr. Pophali also believes I am not responding to the drug.  We are boosting the dosage from 200mg to 300mg to see if we get a response.  She also wanted to go with interthecal chemotherapy, because she is worried about my headaches and vision issues, but discovered we could not do both together.  If the drug doesn't work then we can pull that and treat the symptoms from the disease in the central nervous system in an effort to keep me as functionable as long as possible.

     The problem is my cancer has been exposed to those drugs before and may have evolved past them already, or could soon shortly.  To put it plainly, things are not promising.  Oh, well.

     I go back in about three weeks.

     The sides of the rural highways are loaded with wildflowers.  They seem more abundant, but not as brilliant as they appeared in spring.  I think that is because the grasses are also blooming which are brown. Lots of Queen Anne's lace.

     Another headache today, and to be honest, I developed a slight one late last night.  That is five days in a row.  I hope the last two are because I was short on sleep.
