The Struggle Has Ended

Finally, round three
Again on Monday they deemed me too sick to take chemo. But today, we're on. It's been 28 days since the cancer last saw the chemo. It's in for a surprise this afternoon. Shock and awe, baby.
This is the last round to include Avastin. Then, in 14 days, I'll take another round with no Avastin. Avastin affects blood vessels and thus cannot be used near surgery. The earliest I can have surgery is 8 weeks from today.
I will go to MD Anderson after the next round to see if I can do the surgery. Then, if they decide to operate, we'll have to wait until the first week of March at the earliest for the actual procedure.

Hang in their Greg! Things sound like they're getting better and better! Stephen and I pray that you, your family, and your friends have many more times to make beautiful music together. Costco blues rule!
