#2 – January 17, 2023

Sitting in Sloan’s infusion room with my friend Joyce getting chemo round #2, Taxol and Carboplastin. 

No Avastin (the planned third drug that chokes off tumors) this time due bruising and healing around my new port which unfortunately isn’t visited by sailors, yet.

Got Dr.’s thumbs up for a week in Maine 🌲🌊🧜‍♀️ 1/30-2/4, if I feel up to it, and, if I can can get rides for Lily and I. 🐶

Who’s Joyce? I met Joyce in the late nineties. We worked together at KYW TV in Philly (#4 TV MARKET). Both as news promotion producers. She drove up from Oreland (outside Philly) last night to be here for me today. Thank you Joyce. Love you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Listening to my ipod as Taxol (3 hours for just for this one drug) drips in. 

Love this song by the Five Stairsteps. It gives me hope.

Ooh child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh child
Things’ll get brighter
Some day, yeah
We’ll put it together and we’ll get it undone
Some day
When your head is much lighter
Some day, yeah
We’ll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Some day
When the world is much brighter
Ooh child
Things are gonna be easier
Ooh child
Things’ll be brighter
Some day, yeah
We’ll put it together and we’ll get it undone
Some day
When your head is much lighter
