Mini-Vacation

Gretta & Conan came to Minnesota for 5 days as a post-chemo break.

Last dose of round 4 was Friday, Nov. 14. Saturday morning they headed to Iowa City: Gretta went to the football game and Conan slept at Jennifer's house. That night they drove north with Mike & I.

Conan slept or rested most of Sunday & Monday, but Gretta & I did a little shopping and made some Christmas treats. Wednesday we ran up to Minneapolis for a Timberwolves game.

I think they had a nice break from their routine. Conan isn't always sleeping well and he tends to drop a few pounds during the chemo, but he continues to amaze me with his overall healthiness throughout this process.

Further Shrinkage

The oncologist is pleased with the progress.

Gretta & Conan looked at the scans from today (they hadn't done that last time) and the oncologist pointed out where part of the tumor was removed during surgery, and what has shrunk since August's scan.

There is a chance chemo might extend past the original plan of January, but that will be addressed later.

Blood numbers were also good, so chemo starts again tonight.
