11/9 Final Update

I seem to have outlasted the fever. My temperature was 98.6 degrees at 8:10 pm. My blood pressure spiked, however. It was 160/78. I suspect it’s something to do with all the toxins they pumped through my veins today. I’ll see what it looks like tomorrow.

I am tired tonight and expect to zonk right out, one I hit the bed. Surprisingly I don’t think I feel the effects of the Benadryl – but the tiredness may be partly from that.

I got a copy of my chest x-ray report from the other day. They measure my main tumor at 3 cm. Previous measurements put the size at 5 cm – but that was with a CAT scan. Now I don’t know if the tumor shrunk or the regular x-ray is just not as precise as the CAT scan. It could also be do to another person reading the data. I’m curious if I had 10 people read the same CAT scan or x-ray, what the results would be.
