Update - Post Treatment 4-16-2008

I went and had my hydration and anti-nausea treatment, and also saw the doctor. Apparently, he finds me 'genetically interesting' as some genetic testing he did came back and revealed I have a mutated gene which prevents me from absorbing one of the chemotherapy elements which he prescribed (5FU, if you want to look it up). What this means is that I have to be on a very low dose of 5FU and monitored carefully moving forward. He also expressed surprise I haven't been sicker then I am. My blood counts are very good from what he told me and he is enthusiastic. I feel good too. I am tired and achy, but not that nauseated. We'll see how it goes.
