Rep Power: 4202      | 666 update - 12.19.08 Since I've been asked, and haven't been on here much at all (at all) here's an open letter - missive to all my WT freinds. As I belive I mentioned the Chemo failed. The frist 2 sessions of R-Chop worked, reduced tumor size, the next 4 didn't and it grew; so they gave me 2 more = total 8 infusion sessions of R-CHOP chemo. The Lymphoma got bigger, the two (2) small ones grew together so they shoved me over to Radation. I'm 1/2 way threw radation treatment 200 rads a day. They expect that this will take care of it, we won't know for 3 months as the raidation kills the tumor cells as the devide (death when they have sex? = wow! go to it guys!) ... Anyway - I'm a little weak - everyone says I look great, and 'harty' but only up few hours a day for 'public showings' (ha ha ha). Started working AGAIN, but of CV time on the bike, hope that will help with the Lymph flow blockage. It creates a swelling of my male parts and left leg and foot. Besides that biggest problem is what to eat, the Raidation is giving my GI tract a 'sun burn' and everything 'upsets' my gut. Vegi's (for instance) rip be apart in gas and pain, any 'fiber' dose so I'm eating mush a lot. Fish meses with me, as does shellfish (gawds = no sushie = AHHHHHHHH! the pain the pain!) AND OH ITS CRAB SEASON and that screws with me (i'm in some kind of HELL I tell you! = Fresh crab all over the place and I can't eat it - makes me sick!) So such is life, I can bare up under all this crap, given the alternative. The Raidation MD is giving it a 90% chance of cleanring it up. He says, "Some people are Chemo resistant, your oviouly that way, no one is raidation resistant!" So it goes, I've been working a lot when not resting, I used to type in bed, now i just sleep when I lay down so no WT time basically. So that's what's up, my free time I'm down at Boarders Books wraping X-mas presents for Miranda's Animal Rescue http://www.mirandasrescue.org/ and the rest of the time getting the Op_ Man_ together for the city's new ord. What you can do, is what I tell everyone, "PRAY FOR ME!" Thank you all who are, I get this weird image any time I think of the people I know and the verious 'services' that are being held for me. (giggle - Cathloics to people with bones and rattles chanting!) = its ALL GOOD ... go for it! Other then that its make it to Raidation Oncology by 2:40 every day to get BEEMED - (and the side effets aren't all bad - the X-Ray vison rocks!!!)  Yours, 666 PS - left out the runs, squrts, vomiting and hemroids just thought because its X-mass you didn't need to know (giggle). That's the 'food' problem = it causes all of the above! ... UGH PPS - thanks to a strain called LifeSaver which I put in a full size standard pipe which holds about 3 grams and I just suck on that, I don't have to use all the other 'pain killers' (like the liquid morphine and oxicotan they gave me months ago.) Yup a toke on the pipe and I'm good to go, just can't think about 'passing gas' (farting) other wise it will be a brown out, and in suits that sucks, have to go to dry cleaning and everything! - so its 'pinich it back' and 'hold it in' time.

Rep Power: 80723 | Re: 666 update - 12.19.08 That seems so like you, 666, to have tougher tumors than chemo can handle. Thank goodness the radiation can shrink them. Here's hoping and wishing and praying that you make a great recovery from all this, and have a much healthier 2009!  |
