New direction from Dr. visit today

I had a second CT w/contrast, last week.  Today my Oncologist gave me the news.  Seems I have a genetic predisposition for growing nodulars, lesions, etc.  My liver is now under attack.  I am to start a new Chemo on the 10th of Feb.  We will see what comes of it.  He did say, that we would not be RVing...Which means, no trips we had started to plan.  My lungs look good and I feel good...75 days since an event. 


I still believe in science and God...put them together, could be a great miracle. I will be watchful for smart scientists who will invent a new chemo....just for me, or anyone who needs it.


We really plan to enjoy life the best we can and for as long as we can.

60 Days without an event.

Saw my oncologist this morning. He had planned for another series of chemo-to start today....but, when he walked into the room... "You look way to good to even be here."  "let's wait until we see the results of the CT Scan on Thursday (1/15/15) and decide then.  Now that, makes me one happy camper.  Told him, that I haven't felt this good, in quit a long while. 


My breathing is so much better.  While I still have COPD, not that much coughing. The only real RX I am taking, is the Spiriva.  And, my thyroid RX... 


Basically I am pretty healthy.  Walking, cooking, some cleaning, and driving.  I don't have a lot of energy built up....but that will come with time. 


When I have to slow down, I tend to organize rooms and stuff...so, nothing lost and everything gained.


I will see oncologist on the 20th and the radiation Dr. on the 4th of Feb.  Hang on world...Here I come, again.

Finished with radiation 1/2/15

Greeting 2015 is the best gift I could have received.  I have finished my radiation treatments and am ready to find out what is next.  I am told there will be a CT Scan and blood draw within the next 30 days.  What or if there is further treatments will be discussed.  At this time, I am beginning to feel pretty normal (whatever that is) and will start making my plans for the future. 


I finally had to drive my car, today.... Something I had been putting off until I was sure my reaction time was acceptable.  Guess it is.  My daughter woke up with a severe tooth infection and I was lucky our dentist was in his office on a Saturday.  She is taking a lot of antibiotics and pain pills until Wednesday and then, she should be good to go...for an extraction. 


I am just so very grateful the dentist was in, and I am in good enough shape to drive.  Happy times are around the corner for me and my family.  I will keep my results posted on here and on the Lungevity Community Support Group pages...


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!
