Good News Finally!
I just got back from my appointment at the hospital.
- My white blood cell counts are up to a decent level so I won't need to increase the number of Neupogen shots any more. They will remain at 4 per treatment (days 5, 6, 7, 8).
- My lung test shows that I have 130% of normal capacity, well above average, but I told him that I'm feeling quite a bit better without the Bleo in the last treatment. Even though I still have good lungs, I know that they were much better before chemo. He's decided to withold the Bleo for the rest so I think my lungs might be fine and scuba diving might happen again!
- My liver is clean! This means that it was a cancerous tumor and that the chemo has killed it all off. This is great news because it means the chemo is working and that I didn't have any other liver issues!
4th chemo is going to happen tomorrow and I'm happy now that I know that everything is going well. One third done after this one!

That's awesome Mike! My roomy started crying when she read the good news! She's such a suck. Hope you had a great time at HOE HOG. Just for the record, your lungs may have super human capacity, but I'm still the 2004 indoor rowing champion!
