Today Kath, Brother "B", and I showed up for what was to be the first chemo in my fifth round.  I have had an excellent past two weeks and have been really feeling good!  So it was an incredible shock to show up at OHSU to find out that the MRI images showed that the tumor had grown and the current chemo procedure had not worked.  So today's chemo was canceled and a new chemo drug was ordered, which I will start as soon as we get it approved from the insurance company.  So once again, I find myself waiting on an insurance company!  I just want to get going with this new prescribed chemo drug to see if it has the desired effect.  So we will begin this next series of chemo once my request goes through the days of waiting for insurance approval.  As I've said before, this is a war and I just have to get ready for the next battle.  I will continue to appreciate your thoughts and prayers.  Family, friends, and a positive attitude are essential to success in every task we undertake.  I will continue to keep you all posted and let you know how I am doing.
