Josh had his doctor visit today along with day 1 of round 4 chemo. The doctor didn’t really give us any new information. After this round of chemo we have a 6 week break then we would do repeat CT’s/MRI’s to see if the cancer is gone. Dr. Schertz did say that removing Bleomycin from the chemotherapy regimen that he is getting would most likely affect the outcome but he doesn’t not feel comforable giving anymore Bleomycin before we have the consult with the pulmonologist.
He feels pretty good today. He had a great weekend, Kobie was home all weekend. He even kept Kobie alone some since I had to work some overtime this weekend! Josh and I will be waking up around 2am to view the perseid meteor shower tonight. He is really excited to watch it. We’ve always said that we are going to watch one but they always happen in the middle of the night so we’ve never been serious enough to actually disturb our sleep to watch.
I leave you with some information about the meteor shower.
The Perseids are one of the two strongest and most reliable annual meteor showers. (The other is December’s Geminids.) And while some showers produce brief bursts lasting just a few hours, the Perseids have a broad peak.
The Perseid meteors appear to stream away from their radiant near the border of Perseus and assiopeia. And while you’re outside on a dark night, don’t forget to look for the Double Cluster and the Andromeda Galaxy, two of the easiest “faint fuzzies” to spot with your unaided eyes. S&T Illustration Perseid meteors are visible in every part of the sky. But wherever you see them, they appear to be moving away from the shower’s radiant point near the Perseus/Cassiopeia border. This is a perspective effect, happening for the same reason that snowflakes appear to stream away from the center of the road when you’re driving through a snowstorm.
