When life throws you a curveball.......

Well, Thank you all.......As far as treatment right now, I'm going through radiation and chemo Mon-Fri, 60 times to see if we can make this disappear. Aggressive treatment. I'm hoping it will extend my life for at least 10-15 years. If it doesn't work, I'm looking at 1-3 years survival.

Of course it will work! You see what you have to do is kidnap the doctor's kid and husband and then ask him if he wants to play a game. Then tell him that he won't see his family again unless he is successful. Atleast that's what they do at the local abortion clinic

Had to go to ER this morning........seems the Chemo & steroids cause a case of gout in my right ankle........damn, that's painful.

Well, I had my MRI done and my doctor gave me a bit of good news/bad news. Good news is the treatment worked very well and had shrunk the tumor. The bad news is the tumor is reclassified as a Class IV tumor instead of a Class III which means I have to continue with Chemo therapy for at least 18 months. Time-wise, the doc says I have at least a few years and if the treatments and MRI continue to show positive results, that time-line could be extended even further. So, things are at least looking better right now.

It's a blessing in and of itself that the doctor is using years instead of months. A LOT can happen in years. Think of where nanotech is right now. I bet they will be shooting nanites into you soon that will tear up the tumor.
