An excellent appointment with the Oncologist with a possibility that I may indeed be done after six rounds of chemotherapy. Should this occur it may allow me to have my surgeries before year end leaving 2012 as a year of recovery and rebuilding. A lot of this will hinge on the availability of Dr. Berg to perform the operation at FMH.
Dr Goldstein was highly concerned about the pain I had experienced in my eyes following the last infusion and wants me to see an optometrist as soon as possible. He recently went through laser surgery to correct a condition which seriously could have impacted his vision so he is very "in tune" with vision concerns.
My blood work came back and though my counts have fallen they are still good. I am most pleased with my red blood cell count, although low, it is higher than after my second treatment.
Looks like another forty-five minutes in the chair and then home for desert. Even if things don't work out as I hope, I will leave here in a fine mood.
Keep fingers crossed for me...... Mike
