Sorry guys, my laptop crapped out on me and I just got it back. Got a little disappointing news last week: my tumor marker in my blood went back up to 100 from 2.6ish before surgery. I had a PET scan last week that revealed another tumor in my liver (below the surface so it wasn't visible during surgery). I started chemo yesterday, irinotecan plus 5FU. Nausea has already started in, but there's not much that can be done about that. I'll just keep taking the pills and ride it out. The good news is that I've already dealt with liver tumors so there's nothing new here. The timing blows (not that there's ever a good time for this) as I was just getting back to regular brewing again. Hopefully it won't affect things too much-I've got a lot of brews planned. No matter what, I'm keeping my head up knowing I've got such a great support system behind me. Thanks for all the good vibes, I'm gonna make it though this again!
