I had Chemo #6 today.  So far everything is going as usual...just tired and blah feeling.  I also got to talk to my doctor.

First he said that my white and red count were both very low this week so I have to have both blood cell boosting shots when I get my pump disconnected.  I asked him about my 3rd x-ray and he said there wasn't much of a difference between the 2nd and 3rd.  I also asked if he had made a decision about how many more treatments I would have.  He said that there have been recent medical reports saying that  "bulky patients" (that would be me because of the big bulky tumor in my chest) respond better to a combo of chemo and radiation.  He said as soon as it seems like the tumor in my chest is no longer responding to the chemo very well, he is going to switch me to radiation.  After my next chemo I am going to have another CAT scan and maybe even a PET scan and, hopefully, I'll only have one more chemo and start up on radiation.  (That one more chemo thing isn't for sure- it's my hope and guess since the 3rd x-ray already showed the chest tumor not really responding as much)

I will post when I find out more.  I'm going to spend the rest of the week sitting around and watching unlimited movies from blockbuster for $25/month!
