Today is a big day. I meet with my doctor and get a blood test, and make sure I am fit to do chemo again tomorrow. I think the main thing is to make sure my white blood cell count is adequate. The only thing worse than not being fit enough would be to be fit enough... I'm dreading the next dose. But I'm ready to deal with it.

Just as I warned you, I started a new blog today. It's all thoughts and feelings, no facts; I'll use this one for the facts and details. The other one is more personal and emotional. As my friend said yesterday, "Why would I want to read that?" I think he's probably right, but if you're still interested, you can find it here:

Update, 7:00: Fit and ready for chemo. Expect this space to be quiet for awhile.
