Went to Duke today for Round 2 with chemo. Had to leave at 6:00 am to get up there in time. I had eggs for breakfast and a shake. We got on the rode and headed to Duke. When we got there, I did a consultation and blood work. I gained 2 pounds and my blood work was FANTASTIC. After a couple of questions to the doctors, I headed up for chemo. I got in and they hooked me up. I took the meds fine but had a slight reaction to the Taxol this time. Basically, I could not breathe or talk, and I felt hot from my stomach to my head. The nurse came over and stopped the flow of the Taxol, and then had to increase my meds for awhile and let me hangout for thirty minutes or so. Then I started again without any problem. It scared Christi more than anything. Took Taxol for 3 hours and 30 minutes, then carboplatin (sp?) for 30. Had some lunch during chemo, and we stopped at Wendy's for a bit of a treat after chemo. I just ate 4 eggs before I decided to type this post. I would say all in all a good day. As i type this, I feel great.

The doctors were pretty pumped about how I am reacting to the meds. My cough is 70% gone and the side effects are minimal. I am very thrilled that I can say I am doing everything I can, the doctors are doing everything they can, and I think all of you that read this plus many more that don't are doing everything they can. So now we just hope God is on our side as far as what we want, which is cancer free Bo. We will see.

I will type this for you or anyone else to understand. I know the realities out there but I am not giving in to them. I may be dead in a year, but it will not be because I gave up. I am going to fight this thing and try to get better. I am drinking juices that would only be good with vodka! (I don't, trust me) Anyone out there with a problem they think is too big, just tell them about me and that I might die of lung cancer, but lung cancer is going to have to deal with me!

I am sorry, I am not trying to be the Tony Robbins of cancer, but I just want to make sure you know how I feel about it. I mean it. Spread the word and donate to cancer research soon. Christi and I are going to do a n-profit foundation for cancer soon, hopefully called Addi's Cure. I will let you guys know, and don't worry, I will not hit anyone up for money. I will tell you about the things we will be doing......

Thanks for reading....
