Started another round of chemo today. Nothing new medically. Still working towards a goal of less frequent chemo in 2015.

My first bio banking of my blood took place today. Hopefully taylored medicine for pancreatic cancer will happen someday.

I'm at 26.6 as of 29 December! Below 35 is normal. The plan still is to continue with chemo for now. Next round is 20 January.
