Sunday 7-27 update

Sorry I haven't updated this sooner. I guess the good news is that I feel relatively ok... I have not gotten nauseous this time around which was my major complaint the last few times, so that is good. I have been very tired. Over all, though, I can certainly tolerate this. I began taking standozstatin last week. This is a self-administered (shot) hormone designed to deal with my primary tumor and is one of the foundations of treatment for this kind of cancer. Eventually the majority of my treatment will be self-adminstered and done monthly or bi-monthly rather then weekly or bi-weekly as it is now.
