Hi Uncle Enrico,

Thank you. I'm glad you are reporting it. It is as important to
report our failures as our successes. That is how we learn from one
another's experience.

The vegetables, nuts and lean protein take a lot of beating for most
people unless they have food intolerance or allergies. Once we try
grain based or fruit based foods we are delving into the area where
caution is well advised.

Thanks. I had a rough day yesterday. Didn't feel better till I
vomited. Today is better. There is a temptation to think one's
condition is deteriorating when all that is happening is a
fluctuation.

Tomorrow I should have the results that will determine whether I'm to
have ten or twelve days of etoposide, the cytotoxic drug. On
Wednesday it is likely I'll start my eighth round of etoposide. Here
is hoping for a miracle. Any time in the next three weeks will be
fine. <grin>
