Chapter 38 - "Orange" You Impressed by my OOTD?

After a small hiatus, USC finally scheduled me to fly back to Los Angeles for infusion #5 of my clinical trial.

A key component to the trial “cocktail” involves a high-dose of intravenous Vitamin C.

Because I am a dork, I decided that every infusion, I would dress in a Vitamin C theme.

1st infusion: a T-Shirt that said “You, Me & Vitamin C”

2nd infusion: a cardigan with 🍊& 🍋‍🟩

3rd infusion: a sweater with 🍋

4th infusion: 🍍earrings & accessories

and today, my 5th infusion: 🍓🍓🍓🍓

But in much more important news, my numbers are looking GREAT! In fact, out of about 7 key cancer markers, 5 are “normal.” I mean, I’ve never been “normal” by any stretch of the word, but now, I am so happy to be. And the 6th marker is thisclose to being “normal,” too. The 7th one will be hard to crack, but I’m going to go for it!

I appreciate all the prayers and good juju that everyone has sent my way. Please keep them coming. I don’t quite yet know what comes after the trial (or how long I will be on it)… I’m trying to chew the elephant one bite at a time and just celebrate the small win today.

Oh and P.S. Scans are set for 8/11 at MSK in NYC, if anyone wants to say special prayers on that particular day. 😘
