I made it through round 3 of the 3rd chemo drug last week with little problem. Dr 8(a) had reduced the treatments from 5 (daily M-F) to 3 days, and listened to my request for MWF treatment. So far so good, no fever unlike past rounds with this drug. That could still change though last cycle I was already feeling the effects of fever every afternoon and that treatment ended on a Thursday. Here's hoping my counts stay up, but from the bruises blossoming on my left arm I don't think that's likely to happen. Stay tuned.
The plan was to take it easy today since I made the trek to Estero Llano Grande State Park yesterday. That plan went out the door when a Fork-tailed Flycatcher was found in Hidalgo Co. about 45 min drive away. I headed out the door shortly after 3 PM and enjoyed good looks at this sometimes cooperative and sometimes almost roadkill bird. Thanks to JY for finding it and HH for keeping an eye on it until I got there. A new Hidalgo bird is hard come to by for me!
