Currently at MSKCC, just saw my oncologist, Dr. I, and will be getting my chemo treatment shortly. Dr. I and I discussed my first week - he thinks I'm responding well already and gave me some advice on how to deal w/some of the problems I was having this weekend. According to my blood tests, I seem to be tolerating the treatment well and the only negative is that my weight is down this week which pretty much happened over Frdiay and Saturday. Dr. I thinks I'll bounce back from that by making some slight adjustments to my diet and encouraged me to stop drinking just water (in such large quantities that I feel full) and instead start drinking more fluids w/calories in it - he recommended soy shakes in particular; I plan to try them and a bunch of different things as well.
More when I'm done w/my treatment.

:) I like Dr.I: glad that he confirmed that u've been tolerating the treatment well; And, soy milk or shakes is something I'm about to recommend --
All good :)
Good to hear the news that you are responding well and as expected to treatments. Soy Shakes might be yummy- you'll have to let me know. Glad you are feeling better today. We were worried over the weekend. Thinking about you today, At last one more treatment will be behind you. - GOC
I've decided this needs a spell check that was at 'least' one more treatment is behind you :-)
Good to read positive news - I was asking about you over the weekend. Shakes and smoothies are yummy; I should probably stick to soy shakes.
Good luck with the treatment - I'm thinking about you!
