I finally made it through round 2 and another bleomycin treatment. I think it is the cumulative effect of the toxicity of the drugs but they really kicked my ass for almost 5 straight days..... I was hurtin.....
I realize now that I only have 1 more bleo treatment, Christmas week from hell with all the drugs for the last time and then 2 more bleo treatments after Christmas. Then Chemo is history!!!!!!
I'm hoping I do not need more surgery but the docs are preparing me for the worst. It is likely that I will need to have some sort of surgery to remove any residual tumor or other growths. Since there were "teratoma" cells present in my cancer, they typically do not respond to chemotherapy and need to be removed so they don't morph into additional cancer down the road. I just hope that it's "minor" surgery and not the full-blown RPLND they were initially planning.
I have less and less hair by the day and feel like I've lost almost all of my muscle mass.....I can't wait to be able to get back to the gym and the golf course.
I appreciate all the telephone calls and messages (please keep them coming.) I'll try and start returning them today since I'm feeling MUCH better.

Hey Ron,
Nicolette and I wanted to wish your Cleveland Browns lots of luck against the Eagles this weekend. This is the home stretch and they need to work their way into a playoff spot. Anyway, it is the home stretch for you as well and we know that Santa has some big wishes to fulfill for you. I heard that Hefner's twins will be doing some of the rounds this year as Santina (Kristina) and Santissa (Karissa). I think the rules are a little different with these two. One sits on your lap and the other gives you a present. It's so confusing and I don't know if I will have enough time. Anyway, enjoy Merry Christmas if we don't see you. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. We got to come see you. It has definitely been too long without seeing you.
- Love Usen and Nicolette
Hey Ron,
Forgot to give you this website. It is really cool. It is a new 3D game for kids and counselors/tutors. It allows you to interact with you kids while they navigate through this 3D world. It's called "LittleBigPlanet" and they just launched Thanksgiving week. This is the link for the trailer...
