I topped 170lbs! Sorry, not too earth shaking but the lowest weight I measured during my 'adventure' was 163lbs. Historically, I've been hovering at the 220lb mark. I don't feel the need to get all the way back to that weight but at least the trend is positive.
Going in for my 4th round of chemo tomorrow. It hasn't been bad really. Not a touch of nausea. This last round only resulted in one 'down day'...which is a blessing. Appetite is very good. Good enough that I'm going to have to watch out or I'll shoot past my previous weight! Miss Melodie and I are walking fairly regularly and our distance is increasing.
Life is good and I sincerely appreciate all the prayers for the two of us.

Great news, Hoot! Thanks for the update!

We are still praying for you. Is the Hog hunt still a go?
Yessir!

We will be sporting a Remington 14A in 30 Rem. Shot it last weekend and it was very comfortable. It was one of Dad's rifles.

Met with one of the oncology team and she was very happy with all of the numbers. In fact, the protein in my urine had declined enough to start me on one of the chemo meds they originally spec'd. The only number that was slightly off was my blood pressure. Not enough for any real concern, just higher than it's been.
Thanks for asking!

My pressure is always higher when I go to any doctor than it is at home.
Good to hear!
