Update on My Progress

I saw Dr. Zu on Tuesday, October 23, for my regular monthly appointment and infusion of Sandostatin.

He reports that my WBC is lower than last month, but still within an acceptable range. I never know how to interpret the numbers, but I know one key number is 88 as opposed to 92 last month. Perhaps someone can explain this to me!

I am also down 2 pounds from last month despite having a voracious appetite. Again, Dr. Zu is not overly concerned given that I have a good appetite, am strong, and am continuing to run.

Next appointment is November 20th.

Up next: Silver Strand Half Marathon. Zu thinks I will beat him! HA!

Thank you for your continued support and encouragement!

    Good luck in the half-marathon! I haven't run more than nine miles at a time, I think. It's great that you're still running, even through this. It's a remarkable achievement, in my opinion.

    I haven't been able to run at all. As much as I've wanted to, I just can't deal with it right now. I wanted to make running long-distance a life-long habit, but it looks like it's on hold for now, just as with just about everything else.

    Best of luck, keep persevering (is that redundant?), and hopefully we can talk soon.

      I definitely will.

      Thanks again, and I'll have to get back to you on that lunch. Maybe we could fit something in.

    Hi Andy, thanks for keeping me in the loop about your status. I love the Fall season for running! I will be thinking about you on the half. That is quite an accomplishment.
