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.
