Round 3



After having this week off chemo, I've almost forgotten how tired I get when I'm on it...

This week will be the beginning of the 3rd, 3 week cycle (2 weeks on, 1 week off chemo) of treatment. I may get a scan after this cycle, and then another after the next 3 cycles to see if the growth has shrunk, stopped growing, or has spread. That will determine what happens next...

I'll get my infusion a day early on Wednesday this week, so that Monika and I can go to P-Town on Thursday for my show at the Rice/Polak Gallery which opens on Friday night. Hopefully I can rest most of Thursday and have some energy for the show...
We're looking forward to getting away for a couple of days.

The Garden is in full bloom and gives me great pleasure, even though our huge lilies got trashed by the monsoon that we had a few days ago. They will spring back...

  1. Hi, Dave.

    Your spirit and positive outlook are an inspiration for all of us! I'm sending "good thoughts" your way but wish I could do more.

    Love you, guy!

  4. It's great to hear you sounding so positive! We just got back from Truro -- I wish we were still there so we could get to your P-town show. Enjoy! I'm thinking of you and sending healing thoughts your way!

  7. Dave,

    Can I help you and Monika set up on Thursday? My husband and I are in Wellfleet and are absolutely at your disposal. We can run errands, carry things, nail, hang, get snacks - you name it. Our cell coverage is dodgey. Email and let me know.
