New chemo starts today

Dear family and friends,
I finished my half marathon on Sunday and it was great!  Here's me with Coach Kit from Team Survivor near the finish line.

The race was just in time as I'm starting a new chemo today that probably won't be too compatible with running.  The new drug is called irinotecan (patients pronounce it "I-run-to-the-can", hahaha)...hopefully the side effects won't be too bad, but potentially this is a rough one.  As long as it is worse on the cancer than it is on me, we'll take it.
Next week I have a follow up brain scan, so I'll report back on that front.  Fingers crossed it will be okay.
