Update on Progress

Saw Dr. Zu last week, Tuesday, 20 November 2012. He acknowledged that I "kicked his butt" in the half marathon! HA!

Good report! I gained three pounds, my vitals look better this month, and my WBC, while still low, is a bit higher this month! Hoo Hoo. Also got my monthly infusion of Sandostatin.

Got a flu shot last week as well.

Last few days have been rough with sore throat, fatigue, and low grade fever, but I am back to work today and am feeling okay.

Thanks for all the well wishes and encouragement.

You guys rock!

What's up next:

Three month CT scan of chest, abdomen, and pelvis to ascertain treatment progress.
Appointment with Dr. Zu on December 18.

Silver Strand Half Marathon

Hi All,

I ran the Silver Strand Half Marathon on Sunday, 11 November 2012. My goal was to run 2:00 or faster without having to dig down. I ran 1:58:54 officially! I beat Dr. Zu by 8 minutes! HA!

I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed my experience. While I didn't run very fast, completing this race after last year was an emotional triumph for me.

Thank you to all who have supported and encouraged me!

Next time, let's do it together!

What's up next:

Blood work on Friday, 16 November.
Monthly appointment and Sandostatin infusion with Dr. Zu on Tuesday, 20 November.
