Hello all, I delayed posting this week because I was going to meet with the doctor today and get the results of the latest PETscan. I have felt good all week, but I have been wearing a mask to all public places just as a precaution to avoid getting sick. I felt so good, we all went on a little snowshoe hike with Cari on Sunday. It was supposed to be an easy trail, but I would have rated it moderate. It was a continuous uphill climb for about 2 miles then all downhill back and not much flat in between. Good exercise, I was winded, sweaty, thirsty and very hungry afterwards. We went to the PIE afterwards and man did we eat some pizza. Good shit man. This little exercise thing and my eating habits are still holding me around 167 lbs and I really feel good.
The best part of this last week were the results today. According to the scan, the liver cancer is still reducing and the colon cancer does not even show up. This doesn't mean it's completely gone, but there are not enough live cells to detect via a scan. 99.9% is good though. They now want me to add another chemical to the treatment. We didn't do it before because the side effects were not good for the colon cancer and the size it was. This would help my current cocktail reduce the tumor faster in theory. We are going to read up on the side effects again and see if that's something we want to do.
I was so excited, I gotta say it pulled some tears out again. It also means I can skip a treatment more comfortably when I go to the NASCAR race in Vegas. I will even be able to have a beer with my good friend Eric and really enjoy the race.
Good night all and again thank you for those prayers. They must be working.
