Chemo Set to Begin

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Nice that its almost 70 degrees Farenheit here in Connecticut. My meeting with the medical oncologist went very well yesterday at Yale. T.J. came with me (thanks pal) and also acted as my personal assistant taking notes. My appointment was at 9AM and lasted until almost 12 Noon. We had lunch and then I went for my radiation treatment.

As expected, the oncologist prescribed the drug known as Temodar. I will start the prescription tonight (Nov. 1) and be on it for approximately 35 days. I have to take it when I go to bed along with another pill. So I will let you know how it is going in several days.

Yesterday was Halloween, I got the call to give out candy. I haven't seen so many kids in I don't know how long. It was pretty fun though.

Hope to speak soon, Michael

Hi Michael,
Three minutes huh? How many people do you think your dad can talk to in that time and find out the history of each? Glad to read T.J. is the recording secretary,your own personal police reporter. Keep up the fantastic positive attitude and remember we are all here for you at any time. You are always in our thoughts and prayers.
