Round six was a lot like round five; easier than the others, with a couple of tough days, mostly yesterday. Still feeling very "chemical" today, mostly the metallic taste in my mouth and a drugged feeling. But I have a bit of manic energy after yesterday's lethargy all day. I think in another day or two I'll feel relatively good.

The hard part continues to be mental/emotional, knowing I have another 7-9 months before chemo and radiation are over. That's a long time.

I've been reading lots of mystery/thrillers just to occupy my mind, and working on my comic strip. It's a lot of effort, and by the time I finish a few panels it doesn't seem funny to me anymore. I'm going to show it to a few people today, and I hope to get re-energized.

Hard to believe summer's almost over. Very much looking forward to watching Carly play soccer again next weekend, and the college football season.

Over and out...
