Plan of Attack

I saw one of my doctor today specializing in oncology. She offered a few chemo options, and we agreed on the one that contains three different drugs. I will be alternating them. 6 cycles, every 3 weeks. I will have to stay in the hospital 5 days every time because there are lots of side affects. She recommend this specific chemo because the results are good. I think she said 40% chances it will reduce the malignant parts of the tumor. I hope it won't be too annoying and exhausting staying 5 days at the hospital every time. But it is what it is, at least for now, that's the best choice. I hope it will work, and I won't have to try another chemo which would mean more time lost. I think the CT scan after the first two weeks would be nerve racking. The scan will show if the chemo is working. After these 4 months of chemo, I will need to have a surgery to remove the rest of the tumor.

Before I'm starting all this chemo thing, I'm flying to Israel to visit family and friends to get some much needed energy, strength, and love. I have the most adorable niece and nephew waiting for me. They are very yummy.

This is from my last visit (my nephew and I).

I taught him how to splash,
he quickly mastered the skill,
and enjoyed using it against me.
