So I lied.  Quick update before the holidays.

First round of Xeloda is done and so far the side effects are manageable.  Some minor blistering on my feet, fatigue, continued neuropathy, and general spaciness (yeah, yeah, yeah keep your comments to yourselves....)

I have received the report for my most recent CT scan.

The following are the important parts:

Impression

1. Interval worsening of the ground glass opacities throughout the
right anterior lung fields when compared to 11/08/2016. Although
slightly atypical location for radiation pneumonitis as the opacities
are more centrally located, this is still a possibility given the timeline
of radiation therapy. Another possibility is infection.  Malignancy 
is unlikely.
2. Nodular soft tissue thickening in the right axilla, likely postoperative.
3. No finding suspicious for metastatic disease.

In other words, it's not cancer.

Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement.  Wanted to
end the year on a good note.  👍😃  Stay warm everyone!🌴🌞

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
