That loud cheering you heard this morning was after Peter swallowed his fifth and final Temodar capsule for the month, meaning that he has 23 days until the next time. From my observer’s point of view, it went very well this time, even though the dosage was slightly higher. His activity level has been pretty good and so has his appetite. If he was nauseated, he didn’t complain about it, only about the metallic taste in his mouth that accompanies every Temodar cycle, I gather. We’ve started talking about making a trip out to Austin to visit with Hillary and Chris and Margaret, if we can plan it for a time when she has a few days off and can meet us in Austin. Peter says he’s confident about driving that much, with my help, since he drove for five hours on our return trip from Hilton Head.
Maybe I can persuade him to send you some photos of our monster lilies, one of which is seven feet tall and has a rigid trunk like that of a small tree so that it can support its head of huge, heavy lilies.
