Six treatments

[Tom W.]

The last time I went to Cancer Treatment Center of America was my sixth round of chemo. Wednesday I have to go back by myself as my wife is working, and I'll get a CAT scan. The hospital has a hotel so I
will stay overnight, and Thursday I'll see my oncologist. The last visit he
Said that six treatments was the piviot point, the chances of living six to ten more years was only .1% different between six or twelve treatments.
So far all of my blood tests have been good. I suppose the CAT scan will tell. Then I'll leave it up to the doctor. He knows more about it than I do. God already has it in His hands. I'm not scared, but am tired of the " green apple quick step..". And I'm down to just below 200 pounds now. I can see my feet !

Been through 3 rounds of six treatments each. Man does it change your life. Had my left large lobe of lung removed also. I go for my second Scan Thur. The first one showed a large reduction in 4 of 5 places.
So I wish you all the good luck and God's blessings.

Tom, Pray that all goes well with your doctor visit....

May God be with you and your doctor as he reviews your results with you. May he take all confusion and fears away during this meeting. May He hold you both in the palms of His hands. AMEN

Well, I had my blood drawn and my CAT scan today. For some reason I'm really sleepy. Tomorrow I'll see the oncologist and see what he says.

I dont know you but yet I do.
I just finished my last planned hormone shot,which is to my suprise a milder chemo shot. Ive been dealing with cancer for ten years now.it is a lonely battle. You just have to keep plugging forward.if you dont know Jesus Christ its time to.no reason to try to handle cancer all by your self. Prayers and Gods grace for you buddy.

Ed, I've been saved since 1973...... I know who's in charge.....Christ first, my wife second.......

LOL ! Your good brother !

Well, I have good news and so so news. The good news is that my blood work is great except for a slight deficiency of magnesium. The CAT scan came out great, no sign of cancer. However, my oncologist suggested that I have six more bouts of chemo. I said okay and had one today. I was in from about 1100 to 1900.. then I got my weekend chemo pump and went home. I have to be back Saturday @ 1600 to have it removed. I'm not looking forward to more chemotherapy, but really it isn't all that bad. Losing a bit of weight (down to 197 today) and feel fatigued and lethargic a lot, but generally well. I lose my voice towards the end of the day without having to scream. It just "frogs up" and I sound really gravelly, but it doesn't hurt. I sound like that tattooed long haired guy that is on ads for Sling TV.
