On Saturday Mrs Pere took me to a shopping center in Scottsdale. Very upscale. Yesterday we went to the local Walmart. The people watching sure was different.
Report on my visit to the heart guy yesterday: Reduction on the pills that I'm taking. Changing the statin to a more efficient one, and less mg on the aspirin. They did an EKG All Ok. Routine Echo scheduled.
So it looks like that all went well.
Just got back from my doctor's appointment, where we got the results from last Saturday's CT scan. The results were not what we expected, and not what we wanted to hear.
The tests show that my lymphoma is unresponsive to my chemotherapy regimen. The chemo isn't getting the job done. The regimen I've been on for two cycles is considered to be the standard treatment for cancers such as mine, but, in my case, it isn't enough.
The oncologist is trying to expedite a referral for me to a major, in-patient cancer center in Tampa. There they will be able to administer a more aggressive, heavier duty chemo regimen, but I have to be in the hospital for it. They will also consider whether or not to give me a bone marrow transplant.
Waiting to hear back from the doctor about when I can get in for a consultation, and then for admission. Elaine is leaving for NY again on Thursday, and returning on Monday. This is not what we had planned for our near future....

I was 191 full dress yesterday. I'm guessing about 185 in underwear. Probably 175 would be best for me. I have been in the high one sixties and look sickly.

Well, it's three in the afternoon and I turned the air on. We have had quite a few days without it. But it looks like we have a run coming where it's needed to be comfortable.
It's raining so hard right now that the water outside my office is going UP the window.
How far away are you from Philly?
