Yesterday we flew home after our bi-monthly trip for re-upping all the scans and tests and measurements. No new growth of my cancer cells. That's good news. Two "hotspots" on my sacrum, the triangular bone just below the lumbar vertebrae, are metastasized kidney cancer cells. Very small so far, and I may start a 3rd drug that has shown success in keeping it small.
I am numb and do not know how I feel about that right now. More will be revealed. I still have my cold - ninth week - so it adds to my fatigue. My bi-weekly infusion was yesterday; always tired for 2+ days afterward. My big activities today were phone calls, watering outdoor plants, sitting in the sun for awhile, and then napping/zoning, giving myself a break. That's all for now.

ReplyDeleteBill, Thanks for posting! I'm not sure whether or not to be excited but the new med sure is hopeful! SLY, Gina
ReplyDeleteLove you my friend. Thinking of you more than you know. Glad you are enjoying some of the little things in the midst of all this.
ReplyDeleteI've been following your blog for over a year. Chris, a relative of yours, suggested your site. It sounds like the lights are coming back on for you. I am just short of one year with a new liver. My new organ is infected with Hep C (because I've got rotten blood), so I am taking poison cocktails and Neupogen to try to maintain a balance between therapeutics and healthy blood cell levels. I fully understand the constant fatigue and "fuzziness", but I also realize that the alternative is not an option. You sound like a fighter, like me. I want you to WHUP cancer, and I want to WHUP Hep C. Hang in there, brother! You are an inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteI love you, Bill!
