A ChemoParty without chemo

Hi Team,

ChemoBuddy Bruce took me to get my next infusion of Doxil® today but the oncologist decided it would be better for me to wait one more week. Bruce and I then went to Toast Bakery Cafe on 3rd Street, near Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Excellent food for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. As Rachel Ray might say, YUMMM!

NOTE ON PHOTOGRAPH:

The fresh baked bread and the beautiful tomato came from another ChemoBuddy, Patrick. He is my brother as well as an excellent baker of fresh sourdough bread and gardener of organic produce.

Oh, Saturday morning!

So for the past two days I was eating the way my 'low-fiber worksheets' directed me. It did have a nice twist of my childhood, but the cramping returned through the afternoon and night. #@^&%# !

I do not want to go back to the hospital for any surgery because Chemo #3, Doxil, needs time to do its job. I'm scheduled for my second Doxil IV in eleven days.

With the experience I have gained during the past two weeks I will go back to a 'semi-liquid diet,' kind of like at the hospital during my last 24 hours--clear liquids PLUS goat milk yogurt and apple sauce.

But, I REALLY wish I was watching grandson, Noah, age--almost 6, at his basketball game with his 4-6 year old team mates!!! This is real entertainment!
