Second Phase of Treatments ~ Third set of treatments

      On Monday 19, March 2012 I had my third set of infusions with the triple dose of chemo and experienced very little reactions and for the first time actually got a good nights sleep. The following day I got my third Neulasta shot and didn't have any adverse reactions this time until Friday, but the pain was tolerable after taking Tylenol, I'm trying to not take the prescription pain pills if at all possible.
     The doctor I saw Monday said I will probably get another PET Scan some time after my next and last triple dose of chemo on the 9th of April. I still feel good and I'm keeping my weight, however it does take about a week before my shortness of breath gets better from that shot.
     I have a follow up visit with the radiation oncology doctor Thursday 29, March 2012. I'll update as I learn more. Thanks again to all who are following this blog.
