Chemotherapy

The last two weeks have been a whirlwind of appointments, tests, work, celebrations, and stress. It’s impossible to sum it all up in a reasonable amount of time, so I’ll just keep it short.

No tumors were detectable in the CT scan. The tumor marker in my blood, while rising, is still at a relatively low level. The outlook is still very good.

I’m currently in the waiting room for the infusion area, preparing for my first dose of chemotherapy. I’ll spare you the details. Let’s just say that the next nine weeks are going to be very challenging.

Please keep my family and medical team in your prayers.

    Done. Stay positive, Matt. You’re going to kick some cancer butt. Here’s some reading for you: http://www.etruth.com/Know/News/Story.aspx?ID=521037. Central sucks at football.

    It’s a good thing I don’t care about Central football anymore. I’d be awfully embarrassed.
