No real news from here. Continuing side-effects from treatments: less appetite, some fatigue and stomach discomfort. The biggest issue is neuropathy, which has continued and gotten slightly worse. The last word from the nurse is that it could take up to six months to fully subside, and in fact it might never go completely away.

I was able to do a couple of trips over the holidays, to Connecticut to see my sister-in-law and her family and to Christiansburg to see my family and a Tech basketball game. Some good times, some happy moments, and lots of drama. Those of you who have or had families can likely relate.

Next Monday the 11th I have a new CT scan and we meet with the surgeon. I expect they will set up the date for surgery, probably in February. This is getting serious and scary. I'll post again after that appointment.

Happy New Year, friends, and let's hope 2016 is a better year than 2015.
