Blue eyes, you're the secret I keep..

It's all in the eyes. For most cancer patients. For me, I can always tell when my body is rebounding in some form or another by mine. The grey hues come out when my blood counts are down. And, like today, the blue-ness of feeling good, pierces through most pictures. I feel good. I feel ready.

In addition to my eyes, I'm at my peak weight -- 119 lbs today. Slowly, through biking I've been gaining some muscle. And, eating, eating, eating, to prepare my body for this next treatment.

Once again, I'm here.
Ready for battle.

Chemo begins tuesday morning, and a hopeful update for all of you, following.
Hopefully - with NO side effects!
