tom's blog

A few administrative items first... I've received a couple people reaching out about the same things:

1. If you created an account, but didn't get the email then please check your spam filter/folder. If you still don't get it, then email me and I'll create the account for you.

As a side note, we have 87 signed up users and a bunch of others that just read but haven't created an account. We have heard from people from NY, NJ, Florida, DC, Texas, Toronto, Cuba, Latin America, Milan, London, Australia and probably a whole bunch of other places that I cant remember right now. pretty impressive.

2. the way the blog works is that on the homepage, it only shows the first 800 characters or so. To see the full post, click on the title or the Read More button - PAY ATTENTION MOM AND STOP COMPLAINING THAT YOU DIDN'T RECEIVE TJ'S PICTURES :)

OK, now back to our regularly scheduled programming and stuff that is really important.

Quick happy birthday shout outs to our dear friends Mario and Tamieka (both loyal readers of the blog and contributors). She sends all her love and blessings....

It was a good day back in the Oncology ward. Despite the fact that the ICU isn't really a pleasant place, it was definitely the right place to be for a couple of days. Her temp and heart rate have remained normal. Her liver functions are getting back pretty close to where they were prior to the start of chemo. We're still on hold for additional chemo... though we are likely to pick things back up on Monday. As per the chemo schedule, this next round is a smaller dose than the first so we're optimistic that she'll have fewer side effects than she did the first time.
