I was just given a test shot of bleomycin to see if i have a reaction and if not, i will get my first dose in the next few minutes.
Jennifer and I were in with Dr Reznick this morning and he read the MRI result as we sat there. He was very happy to tell us that there is no cancer in the spine and what they saw was some natural deteriation of the bone that happens to everyone and an early, very common, case of arthritis. Obviously, this was great news as it's felt like most of the time, things have been a little worse then expected.
Reznick also asked how my first night went and it was not too bad. I felt a little sick and, after i took some medication, it was not bad. He felt this was a good sign and said that "might" be how the rest of the treatment goes, which would be ideal. There is often a round of nausea that happens early next week and I need to be aware of that.
So far, so good. I have lost 2lbs since last wednesday but that could have been the weight of my Hair.......
82 days to go.

We're glad to hear your first day went okay and that the test results came back favorably. Before you know it you'll be writing "it's over" instead of how many days remain.

Sam,
Thanks for keeping us educated and informed. I am glad to hear your first day went okay. Keep up the good spirit . I can't wait to hear about the 2nd annual 24 hours of Hockey next May. Stay strong!!

P.S. I like the hair!! :)
Humph, was there really that much hair??? ;-) hahahaha
Maybe your dream of playing professional Hockey is still possible as it changed Lance Armstrongs' body, maybe you'll be like Frosty - and so smooth on the ice scouts will not be able to stay away after this. Now would'nt that be something.(you can still dream!)
I am so relieved that you got good news today and that you are still feeling ok.
My love to you both, I think about you constantly.
I love you,
Heather
Sam,
I'm one of Jennifer's cousins and wanted to extend my hope and support to you. Also, Jen owes me $5 from twenty-three years ago. Any chance you could get that for me?
