Ninth Adcetris Dose

There's not much to tell.

We keep doing chemo. The affects are pretty well managed now, but I'm starting to feel sick from some kind of sinus infection, so Dr. Wendy gives me a prescription for an antibiotic, one I've not heard of before--Keflex.

The peripheral neuropathy seems to be increasing, but maybe it's because I'm more aware of it in my arms and legs now. Like, my legs are numb about halfway up my thighs now and especially on the insides of the knees.

The plan is to do twelve doses of Adcetris total. That's just two more after today. The tumor keeps shrinking and is almost gone, so that should take care of it. We'll do a CT scan, then wait about a month and do a PET scan and see where we're at.

Life keeps marching on, and I'm definitely still kicking!
