Good news - my doctor decided we can finally start Round 2 of my "consolidation" chemo on Monday. Apparently, my blood cell counts are high enough, and we're only a week behind the original plan. (But isn't that just like me to be running late.) So here's my new *ideal* plan for my consolidation chemo...
:: Round 1 - May 14 (DONE!)
:: Round 2 - June 25
:: Round 3 - July 30 (tbd)
:: Round 4 - Sept 3 (tbd)
So next week, I will get chemo (an IV drip) on Mon, Wed, Fri in the mornings and evenings. Then we'll just wait la la la. According to my doctor, the bacterial infection I picked up during Round 1 probably slowed me down, so cross fingers I won't get sick this time.

my bionic arm (it's my PICC line - peripherally inserted central catheter)
voila! my first knit scarf. (note that both ends are off camera. they are of questionable style)
