Deb's Update: January 15th, 2008

Hi all,

Just wanted to give you a quick update: I'm obviously on the Avastin/CPT-11 combination chemo and so far so good (Day 1 was 01/11/08). Of course I feel like I need lots of stuff to suck on like a Lifesaver or some other candy that eases my throat. That seems to be the main thing that's affecting me from the chemo thus far.

Yesterday I started on the Radiation Therapy (RT) and will be treated for 25 days (Mondays through Fridays only). It only lasts about 7 to 10 minutes so I am hoping that it doesn't bring me too much fatigue as time goes on. No warning that I should not drive while doing the multi treatment stuff so hey, I won't ask the RT doc if he won't say anything to me! Doing lots of fiber and veggie cooking although it isn't always making me 100% happy... it's all about increasing my autoimmune crap to get this damn tumor out of my head... fingers crossed that all the organic products will help me along with getting this tumor killed!

That's it for now... just wanted to give you a quick update... you will see some pictures soon that I sent Amy and Brian!

XOXO,

Debbie
