10/29 Update

The pain in my back subsided last night and I slept better than I have come to expect. Although my back pain was reduced last night I did experience a little chest pain. I considered going to the ER just to make sure I was OK.

However, it was identical to the chest pain I felt four weeks ago. In that instance I DID go to the ER. They found my heart was fine, but discovered the tumor in my lung. So it was a worthwhile trip. In my PET scans they found a couple of infected lymph nodes in my chest. I’m of the mind the pain is coming from those infected lymph nodes.

In addition, I really didn’t feel like spending the rest of the night in the ER and I don’t thing the Vorlon Wife would have been very enthusiastic either. Her shingles continues to plague her.

On more piece of evidence is m blood clotting factor is down. The chemo knocks it down. I have had a running nose, common for me, and the last day or so, I’m starting to get a little blood when I blow my nose – In know, yuck!

I feel pretty good this morning and plan to cut the grass. It will be a slow grass cutting. But I have found that when it comes to physical effort, frequently the hardest part is just getting started.
