good to go back on chemo + a star is born!

Mark had another blood test yesterday and all of the levels were back up, so he was cleared to start back up on Temodar. For this round, he will take 300mg for 5 days straight and then will be off for 23 days with a few blood tests in between to see how he's holding up. He started last night and felt fine this morning. We also got the dopa pet scheduled for this coming Thursday. It takes more than a day to read, so there probably won't be any results until next week. Also, today Mark is going to record a radio interview about the LIVESTRONG ride! He's going to be speaking about his story and how the ride is inspiring him to LIVESTRONG :) The interview will be recorded at K-Earth 101 and will probably be aired on Sunday...we're going to see if we can get a copy.

06/12-16/06 Temodar 300mg + Kytril
