October 30, update on my adventures.

Since my last post I have been back to the Cleveland Clinic two times. On the first trip I had an MRI of my liver. The MRI showed no significant change since the one back in July. The doctor wanted me to schedule a new biopsy of my liver. I went back today for that biopsy. The doctor that did the biopsy indicated that he did not see any signs of tumor. They sent the samples (six of them) off to be analyzed.

I have also been through two more rounds of chemo treatment, not fun. However, the doctor in Cleveland said that he does not want me to do any more Chemo until they know that I need it for sure.

After the first trip to Cleveland, Carol and I took a couple of days to drive up to Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. The weather was fantastic. We spent several hours walking around the falls. We had lunch at the restaurant across from the falls. The view was fantastic.

Also, I will be getting my new prosthetic eye on Thursday. See ya.

Update on treatment and all

Thank you to all of my friends for their cards, prayers and well wishes. I also want to thank my co-workers for the Supper Tyme meals. Carol and I really appreciate the prepared dinners for their ease of preparing and serving. This is especially true for those days that we have appointments with doctors. The food is really tasty.

My son and his wife came in from Wyoming to spend some time with Carol and I. It was really great to have them here for a week. Paul, my dad and I took a trip to Albany, New York to see a WWII destroyer escort (DE) that is being refurbished by the destroyer escort sailors association. The DE is very similar to the one that my dad was on during WWII. My dad showed us the location of his bunk on the ship as well as the muffler room that he would hide in to read. The ship is in great shape and continues to be restored by the association.

I have been working 4 hours a day for a few weeks. Looks like I will return to full time soon.

I did go through another round of chemo treatment. No fun.

I went to see my eye surgeon as a follow up to my surgery. I am doing well according to the doctor. I will be going to the doctor to fit me for my prosthetic eye on 10/11. Also, I will be returning to the Cleveland Clinic on 10/22.

I also have been back to my psychologist. Again this is a great benefit from Nationwide.

Generally speaking I do not feel to bad right now. God willing I will be cured.
