So not had much to post in here last couple months. Just been chemo treatments and guberment crap. But I finished the first course of chemo treatments on 12/16/21 and had a CT scan on 12/30/21. Went to the doc's today to get the results. Tumor shrank really well. But the two "spots" on my liver did as well. They had biopsied my liver in NM back in June and it was benign. But because they shrank from the chemo it has the surgeon concerned that they might be cancer, too. If they were to turn out to be cancer. We'd not end up doing surgery. As the cancer would already been in my blood system. So we're doing the last 4 sessions of my chemo treatment, and then another CT scan. That should happen beginning of March. If they continue shrinking. We'll have to do another biopsy to see. Assuming it goes as planned and positive. Which I suspect it will. I'll be having the Whipple surgery in March, too.

I suspect those spots are my neurofibromatosis. Which I googled and does react to chemotherapy.

But all in all good news today.

Thanks for the update. I have been wondering how you were doing. Don't wait so long next Thyme

So chemo done and CT scan yesterday. Doctor appointment Thursday. Hopefully it's no more chemo and just have to get the surgery done. Plus spend more time enjoying my girl.

Glad you survived and are still among us.

So here's where we stand. Four chemo and one CT scan later. No shrinkage on cancer or lymph nodes. But also no change on the spots on my liver. Based on that, the biopsy in NM, and my liver not lighting up during the PET scan at the beginning. He agrees. It's not cancer.

However, still a large number of lymph nodes with cancer. So we're now scheduling an appointment with the surgeon. So he can get an assessment of me. Since I'm relatively young and healthy. Why? Based on my good strong health. He may go ahead and approve the surgery. Even with the extra strain on me. Due to the number of lymph nodes. Or he'll ask for four weeks of radiation. To keep shrinking them down.

The overall scenario is surgery. At earliest 3-5 weeks out. Depending on the OR schedule.

Actually only 4. But I'm blessed with a girl with youthful looks, a great body, and an insatiable appetite. Plus she really looks hot in cuffs. LOL

10-2, 10-4, Thanks Sir Goat!!
KEEP LOOKING UP!!

Update Regarding Internal Fluctuations:
Last week at Urologist Office, having another through the Urethra procedure, Urologist discovered another, small Tumor, on Back Wall.
Surgery set for Tuesday, 5-16, 10a.
No overnight as I was told.
Reasonably a "quick in-n-out".
Not a year from last procedure which I blame on Cigarettes.

Wife and I currently in a program to STOP smoking.
Anyone interested in such program, CBQ METHOD.
CHEERS!!
