New Year

OK so I am hopeful that this year is a whole lot better than last year.I am hopeful there is a  miracle as always for the gene therapy to work. I am hopeful that I will survive the split of the tumors. I am hopeful to be able to dive this year. I am hopeful to be able to run with Megan this year. I am hopeful that I will be in God's hand and everything will be alright. I have asked nothing of the new year but hope. I ask nothing more from friends and family than what they already give me, support and love. On the up side I did start chemo by pills and injections and am getting enough prednisone that I actually am hungry. It does not always stay down but at least I am wanting to eat now. Sour or sweet stuff makes the metallic taste of radiation go away faster.Hello candy my old friend. I won't have tooth left in my head when I finally make it to the dentist. Oh well. Pain and headaches the same as always.Working on a driving schedule so I won't be on the road if the tumors separate. That would be kind of bad. I have my first teal sit down and talk with the American cancer doctors soon to see, how we are going to proceed.My neuropathy is a little out of control so I got to get in to see someone about that soon. Other than that nothing new till new scan in about 4 hours. Good night again, update to follow.
