Drowning in water

The last time they tried to get a sample of spinal fluid they only got 2.5 cc; this was because I was dehydrated. My personal opinion is that the infusion itself (which I had just had) is pretty dehydrating.  But the instruction was to drink lots of water the day before, and I have.

I stopped at one cup of coffee this morning and I have been belting down as much water as possible.

Excuse me,  I have to fill my jug.

Hey Phil,

You've two rounds of Chemo? Going for three shortly. Possibly three more after that? So, chemo will be over when, if you have to six total?

I know you mentioned it, but I've forgotten. I chalk it up to short memory malfunction.

I think about you more often than I comment here.

P.S. We just got 14 inches of snow. I am so lucky to be off tomorrow.

Best

I have had 3 of the R-CHOP regimen which is injected via my port. I will be taking a PET/CT scan March 1st and if I am cancer free at that point I will have 6 total of R-CHOP.

I am also being infused via lumbar puncture with an anti-cancer drug and I will have 4 total of those (I've had 3 so far).
