Rain, rain, rain
It seems like the rain has rarely stopped over this past weekend, into today. And this is just fine, since we we’ve needed the rain pretty badly around here with the dry Winter so far.
Had my third radiation today, and only have 32 more zaps! Following that, we drove to Fairfield and had a check in with my chemo Dr. Vikstrom. The Cetuximab has really given me a bad acne rash on my face, chest and back and Dr. Vikstrom told me there was no scientific proof, but it seemed that when patients had bad acne, it meant the chemo was working very well. I’ll take that little bit of good news, because at this point, I really have no desire to go outside in public looking like I’ve been shot in the face with bird shot. He gave me an antibiotic called doxycycline that can provide a little relief for the acne too, since it will probably be with me until treatment ends. And this looks like it will be in the third week of March.
So other than the itchy, broken out face and chest, I still feel great and even went to band practice tonight.
