On January 7th, 2008 I received a diagnosis of stage 4 esophageal cancer following an endoscopy that I had scheduled to investigate intermittent difficulty I had been having with swallowing food. Since then I have had numerous chemotherapy treatments and multiple remission/recurrence scenarios. This blog is so that friends and family can follow along as I fight this battle.

Saturday, March 8th
Good morning. I’m feeling pretty good again today, especially now that I’ve been able to get some breakfast. My appetite has held up very well. Our revised plan of attack has been working nicely so far and I’ve been able to avoid much of the discomfort that I experienced during round #1. Let’s hope it continues and that Tuesday afternoon comes quickly for when Lana arrives to disconnect me from the IV pump. As with round #1 I’ll be receiving a Neulasta injection and IV fluids to re-hydrate on Thursday morning. Bailey will be driving me so I guess she’ll get her first exposure to Dr. Richards and the lighter side of chemo treatment.
