I did my third round as an out-patient commuter, as my heart scan (originally set for Valentine's Day, but moved up a day) showed that the mass of cancer cells behind the heart had shrunk from 11 1/2 cm to 6 cm. I had my bad chemo days starting the day after the three day session was up.

I somehow managed to crawl out to a brunch with my daughter and her boyfriend who were in from Ohio last Saturday. I wouldn't have left the house for anyone else.

I've another good week to go before I have to deal with another session of three days of treatments.

I've been getting out with friends, making music and helping with research on a friend's theatrical production about the War of 1812 to try to stay busy on my good days.

I had tried to revive the Recovery Room thread, but no one else wanted to play, so I'll post here from time to time.
