Lee's Rants

     Well, after being off treatments with chemo for a few weeks I'm back in the swing of thing. I got ol' mini Frank back on. I guess I should be glad as I also just had a CAT scan and the doctor said it looked good.

     He also cut me back to every other week with Herbatux. Just as my rashes were clearing up. Heck, I suppose I should be happy with things. I'm trying to keep a positive point of view.

     Also, I'll get my remaining hair cut short. It's the time of year to have short hair. Chemo's been good for that. It's been saving on hair cuts and that's pretty good at what they are any more. They used to be a buck, or two when I was a kid and now it's eleven to twenty depending on where you go here and more elsewhere.

     Anyway, the pump comes off tomorrow. It's gonna be good to get it off as it gets a little heavy. I bet when it's gone I'll miss it, but I don't miss a boil off my butt either. Cest le vie. Oh well, enough for now. Semper Fi! Lee Zelhart

    Well, this is two weeks without Chemo. I know I need it, but the truth is side affects have caused a reprieve for a little. Thought I did have to have a recent CAT scan I've been having big time allergic reaction. I had to go to the ER Saturday.

   My right hand swelled up and think, as the doc at the ER thought, it was infected. I know it looked bad and had steroids. Good thing I'm not a baseball player.  It's for this reseason I'm in such shape right now. My right hand is wrapped up and got antibiotic ointment on it.

     Anyway, I still itch like heck. I'm one dried out puppy, but as I told my daughter Holly:"at least my hair fell out the right time of the year." Now, all I can hope for is to survive the rash, however I have great hope of that. I've got a big wedding to get through next month. I'm giving the bride away.

     I'm told the steroids caused some of my problem with my right hand. The skin is dried and cracked. Oh well. Semper Fi. I'll get by anyway. Lee
