Eleven Days Left

There are 11 days left where my wife has to push Antibiotics into me via a PICC line in order to ensure that my Staph Infection has been successfully removed from my body.  Most of the day, I feel rather BLAH but there are days where I feel pretty good as if this is all behind me...  even though I know that it is not.

After 15 days of taking these antibiotics, I have lost 13 pounds and one begins to wonder if there is something else going on inside my body that is causing me to continue to lose weight other than me not eating as much as I did before.

I have STOPPED ALL CANCER TREATMENT since July 12 when I first entered the Hospital, so I have missed an OPDIVO infusion (to fight Melanoma) for almost 2 months and I have not taken Imbruvica (daily pills to fight Lymphoma) since July 13.  Yes...  I am concerned but relying on my Oncologist to guide me through this process.  I have an appointment with him on August 13, two days after my Antibiotic Infusions end, and I would suspect that I will be receiving my OPDIVO infusion on that day as well.  I am also assuming that he will tell me to start taking my Imbruvica again.

Life goes on...   and, I am fortunate that I am still above ground.
