Keeping in the loop--
Posted on 02/18/2020 11:11:25 AM PST by Bender2
Okay, to keep everyone in the loop and maybe keep me there, too-- Here is what is going on.
Tomorrow I go into surgery to have a portal installed for them to be able to inject the chemo drugs into me. As to when that will start, I do not know as yet.
Wednesday I go to the Corsicana Cancer Center to get set up for chemo and such I guess. I have been told that my chemo and radiation therapy will be for 6 to 8 weeks and them perhaps followed by more surgery.
Monday I go up to Dallas for a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan that is as I understand it an imaging test that allows the doctors to check out where the cancer is and how far it has spread. I also assume they will use a special dye containing radioactive tracers.
Then back in Corsicana the next Wednesday I see my oncologist for the results of the PET scan and whatknot and we go from there.

I had 25 external radiation treatments for prostate cancer a few years ago. Outside of the fact It “glows” when I get up to tinkle in the middle of the night, it’s not so bad. ;-)
Seriously, good luck with the treatments and recovery!!!

Prayers for Bender2 to have successful cancer treatment and that the meds don’t impact his quality of life as he endeavors to do all he can to keep strong.
God wrap His mighty arms around this warrior and give him strength and courage.

The port is a piece of cake. It will take about a half hour.
The great thing about it is no more IVs or blood draws through your arms. Might not seem like much today, but in four weeks you will think it a Godsend.
Chem sucks. No two ways around it. But my wife is on cycle 9 and shes only thrown up once. She lost her hair, but I lost mine years ago...so no big deal.
Listen to your body. And listen to the nursesthey really know whats going on.
Good luck.

We share the exact same birth date. Last spring I thought my number was up. I had every procedure imaginable. MRI, colonoscopy, whatever it is when they come down your throat, X-rays, surgical scopes,and CT. I’m not a hypochondriac and didn’t request any of these. I’m hoping your outcome is as good as mine. Go Chiefs!

Takes large cajones to keep up with that social schedule. Hope the nurses can keep up with you.

Thanks for all your prayers and support, I've just got back from the hospital having a brand spanking new Bard Power Port in my upper right chest plate for my coming chemo and such--
But now I can get back to taking over the counter meds... the old fashioned way!
Luv y'all, Danny
