I was supposed to get chemotherapy today but my platelets were only 69. They need to be above 100 before they will do the infusion. Assuming my platelets rebound by next week, which they should, I get to have chemotherapy during Christmas. How fun will that be.... haha[...]
I am all settled in Rick and Linda's house. My new room is great with two big windows and tons of light? Don't have the mountain and ski hill view I had at Tom's...but oh well. I am really digging my new digs and if Linda has anything to say about it, I will meet my caloric and exercise needs[...]

I Had a one month follow-up doctor’s appointment and CT scan a couple of days ago. There were no changes to the CT scan since the previous one. However, at some point the cancer made a hole in my esophagus and attached itself to my aorta. During surgery they were unable to remove anything off my aorta because they felt it was too dangerous because of the previous radiation and the aorta being friable. The previous chemotherapy and radiation shrunk the cells and according to the doctors now they look “non-viable”. However, because whatever is on my aorta looks the same (cell type) as the cancer they already removed, they are going to do another round of chemotherapy.[...]
