Positive News – Mon, 11 Aug 2008

View from my new office window

Greetings all! Well, I had my latest MRI on Saturday morning and met with Dr. Pu to review results today. While the tumor doesn’t appear to have shrunk further (or at least not significantly), the contrast was greatly reduced, indicating a reduction of activity & blood flow. That is very good news for 2 reasons. Firstly, any reduction in activity is a positive development, and secondly, it is a further indication that the chemotherapy is indeed working! Knowing that really makes it easier to keep going.

In other news, folks here are pretty well enmeshed in Olympic fever, though it’s hard to get too excited because there is very little English coverage here. I did get to see some pretty gnarly women’s judo though.

My company also moved offices while I was out for the last cycle. While there is much to complain about with the new building (more cramped, bad ventilation, less convenient location…), I definitely can’t complain about my 62nd floor harbour view.

That’s it for now. I hope all are well and enjoying the summer.
