Anti-body Treatment #3

The past couple of weeks have been pretty good for me for a change. With the experimental drug being withheld the last treatment I could definitely see the difference. The extreme breaking out was significately less. My sore throat and mouth were gone, taste buds almost normal, no more sinus draining. I actually felt like a normal person again. I think the chemo drugs have been flushed from my system now. No more cold sensitivity. Of course, all good things must come to an end. Yesterdays treatment had the experimental drug back at a 50% level. Last night my sinus drip was back. Today it's running pretty good. So what else? I'm ready to see this drug end soon or I would consider dropping it. I have gained 6 pounds this past month which is good. What's bad is where it is landing. With little outside activity yet, it seems to be landing in the middle. I've gone down one belt loop. Looking back, I've come a long way since that low of 139 pounds, a 30 pound gain. Two more treatments and another CT scan and then ???? I guess that's about it. Little to say is good news. Good health to all.
