Monday July 18th I had a rush CT scan. Don't know why they rushed it. I'm also scheduled for a CT on Sep 02. I think that they think the Sep 02 one is an MRI, but that isn't what they mailed to me. The request to attend sheet says CT scan. Whatever.
Today, Tue July 19th, I had chemo. A bit of a longer wait than normal, but not too long. I'm at about 120 lbs right now.
The next doctor / chemo is Tue Aug 02, so the week of Tue July 26th I have off (3 weeks on, 1 week off, repeat... is my chemo schedule).
Aug 02 is my next doctor consult with the chemo doctor, so at that point I'll find out the results of the CT and what chemo I will be moved too, or what procedure we will decide to do next.
Regards,
Shane

Jul 13 - ok
July 13, 2011 - update:
- Chemo continuing every Tue, no problem.
- Home hydration continuing every Mon & Thu, no problem.
- Princess Margaret Hospital - "ocular oncology clinic" said they couldn't see anything in my eye. So the eye obstruction is going away on its own and likely wasn't cancer related. So as assumed, it was likely due to the dexamethasone.
- Next CT of liver / lungs scheduled for Sep 2, 2011
- Next Seizure doctor follow-up is Sep 27, 2011
