Here we go again. (Round 5)
January 2, 2012
m almost to the half-way mark. Tomorrow will be my fifth round of chemo. I need to complete six rounds of chemo treatments after which we re-stage. This means I need another PET/CT scan to see if I am responding to the current treatment. We are looking for the shrinking of the six nodules in my lungs, at best no nodules at all. Yes!
But as they say, we take it one step at a time and perhaps enjoy the moment. Last Saturday, my wife and I did six miles at the lakefront. It was a beautiful sunny but cold day. There were other runners taking advantage of day but I think most of them are Boston-bound (Boston marathon April 16). I can only dream of qualifying for Boston or maybe I run use Frank’s qualifying time (see related post ‘I am ready‘)…hehe.
Another dream is running NYC marathon. Well today they opened up the lottery registration so I signed up. This is my fourth time to enter the lottery and hopefully I get lucky this year. If not, there is always next year. Yes, one must never lose hope, like I will be cancer-free some day. Not today, definitely not tomorrow, but one of this day.
Cheers.
P.S. The plan is to attend my 5:15 am spinning class then go to the cancer center to ‘gas’ up. 
Have a good day.
Round 5..imagine how time flies when you are having fun! That is the spirit!
Mom said, claim it and it will be yours! Claim that you will beat this cancer, claim that you will be able to enter in the NY marathon! Never say never! Praying that the chemo witches will not come by to visit you on this round. Love you!
