Thanks everyone.

Got home today from the hospital, round one is done. Only 3 more to go,lol. Really tired right now and it prob. won't get better for a while.

ttyl everyone..

hey now !! You made it back !! My dad once told me that they figure out Chemo this way. Once they know the dosage that will kill you, they back it off a bit and go with that !! Keep up the fight !

Thanks everyone and best of luck to your brother flrshftnss.

The Chemo is a kick in the *ss but I am starting to feel better between the treatments. I have 2 more to go. I got a little longer break this time. Next treatment starts after Oct. 13th. I miss my G-body but hopefully I will get another soon. I seen a late 80's malibu but it needs a lot of work and they want $1,500 for it. I can't do sh*t right now so we will wait and see.

Well I finished 4 rounds of chemo. Because the 2 spots that are there and the response to the chemo, they are doing at least 2 more rounds. One spot went from 3.5cm to 1.5cm and the other went from 1.5cm to 0.8cm,,,,quite a big reduction.

I go back in on November 30th and come home December 4th.....Then go in on December 21st and come home December 25th........not much of a christmas this year as I will come home around 4pm.

After that I go back to Boston and might have another lung surgery to remove the 2 spots, they could just continue the chemo and no surgery too, not sure yet. One chemo drug, the Adriamycin (doxarubicin) can only go to the 6 treatments as that is the limit. Any more than that and death can occur. I am still very close to death with this whole regimen anyway but whatever happens happens. Staying positive is key.
