Thanks again Howie, for making the CVO Forum post for me. As you know from our last Thursday phone convesation I was feeling pretty sick. Thanks to all the other phone calls I got as well as the many cards and etc. On the days that I feel well enough, theses calls and post give me such a lift, then there are those days that I,m so sick I don,t the energy to even read. Bed is where you,ll find me. I,ll ether be tossing and touring or sound asleep.
Well I made it to the Doc appointment for everything to be done in it,s order and proper time. I was ready for to go, but as it turned out all that was ready was my will and hope, the rest of me was still way to sick. I still have a nasty infection brewing and hey still can,t find it. I was given 5day Anti-biotic. While the waited for the results of the ct-scan the chemo nurse hung a liter bag of saline so I could be a little wetter on the inside. After a long day I finally went home and, you got it, I went to bed.
The ct-scan was the mixed bag as usual. The good news was that three were no new tumors showing. I liked it, news not so good was that the cancer had spread into my sternum bone ans in the area especially where the right rib was removed during surgery. The only other cancer that was affecting more area was the cancer in both lungs.
I,ts the belief of my Oncologist, Dr. O,Donnell, that if I have this new type of chemo to start next Tuesday because of yesterday's delay, I will have relief from the pain in my lungs and my rib bones. This would be a big plus for me because then I could and would back off on the pain meds, which I personally think is causing so much of thr sickness. I asked the Doc if I held to this new plan will I be able to ride I bike again this spring? His answer was simply, I thinks so, yes, I think you will. That is the best news I,ve heard in a while.
Well, Back to bed for now my friends
Sam
