Three Done!

Today I survived my third round of "chemunotherapy," and I'm doing as well as can be expected. The metallic taste in my mouth has started, as has the occasional odd feeling of something crawling around under my skin. The anti-side-effect medications are doing their job, though, so I'm not complaining.

Meanwhile, I have good news! I met with my oncologist just prior to the infusion, and he is very pleased with me. He says I'm am turning out to be "good responder" to the therapy. That means in part that I'll only need one more round of chemo in this series, though I'll probably stay on the immunotherapy. 

I'll write with more details about what this all means another time, but for now I just wanted to share the good news.

In another quick tidbit of news, Gita is getting very good at making mocktails. With the margarita-inspired drinks below, we fortified ourselves for this chemo week.
