Recently I noticed another effect of the chemo that secretly I hoped would not come to pass- the loss of my hair. It was weird to run my hand through my hair and have clumps of it resting on my palm. It is not a big deal, but it is the first visible sign that sort of says you are sick or something like that. I think that I will shave it preemptively.
We received some good news yesterday as well. The results of my recent CT scan showed no interval change in my cancer since the last CT scan in May. Basically, there was not metastatic spread of disease to the chest or lungs. We pray that this will be the same prognosis in the coming months.

You are the new bionic man! Maybe you'll have bionic (read super speedy) like impulses that allow you to write and draw so fast, the untrained human eye will not even detect your skill...;)
Hang in there and keep your mind busy...rest much....and YES! shave the head...sport a new look, it's only hair...
Miss you guys, hugs to Dilly!!
