    UPDATE

    Well, it's been over a month since I've graced the site with my presence (okay, just kidding...gotta have some kind of a fake ego at least).  My life has been pretty hectic the past couple of weeks though.  It all started with the week before the 18th.  I found out that my central line that I had in my chest was pretty much broken and needed to be replaced before I could have anymore chemotherapy given to me.  So on the 18th I had my old Groshong line pulled and a new one put in.  Does anyone else on here have a groshong line?  or have experience with one?  I have a double lumen line and only use one lumen, but my "oncologist" insists that anyone he's ever known who had the double lumen uses it.  I have never and will never have the need for the second lumen.  Anyways, back to the update, on the 22nd I ended up in the ER with the flu for 6 hours puking.  on the 25th I had a PET scan to see if the chemo is doing any good at all (mind you, this is the very first test since I have begun treatment in October, which is absolutely ridiculous).  This coming Monday I will be getting the results of that PET so wish me luck.  Anyways, that's my update and I will be sure to keep everyone informed.
