I feel pretty good today so I'm going to take advantage of it and touch base with everyone.
I'm not sure how much info about my day to day condition I can post without boring everyone out of their gourds, but I'll try to be brief. One reason I think this might be important is that there may be someone else out there who is traveling the same road, and my experiences might help.
I don't dwell on horror stories like so many people on the support Web sites. I never look at the whole forest; I concentrate on one tree at a time. When I open my eyes in the morning, I thank God for the gift of another day, and it's the only day that's important.
I'll try to clarify some of the things that became misconstrued over the last two weeks:
The whole body bone scan showed only one bright spot ("bright" equals "bad"). I expected that. It's in the area where the tumor destroyed the femur so there had to be some cancer cells left after the removal of the femur.
The area of the lungs effected by the cancer is in the middle lobe but it has NOT collapsed the lung. It's simply exerting pressure and decreasing the capacity of that area. This is causing shortness of breath, but I have some meds now that relieves the symptoms. The doctor said he could barely detect any change in size of the cancer nodules from the last CAT scan a few months ago.
[Connie, you can tell that old hound that's lucky enough to share your bed that I'll be around to pour the water bucket on his head at the tail gate party next year]
After all this time, I start chemical treatments on the 26th. I am sooo ready!
We can beat this thing, but we have to have the tools to do so.
This is a family effort, and I can feel the love and compassion from all over this land. I don't know why God chose me for this bountiful blessing, but I recognize it and I appreciate it.
Thank you, family, for all your thoughts and prayers.
God bless you all.

I must have slipped off of the ping list somehow, but we've been praying every day. Glad I came by and saw your update. Will be praying extra hard that you are on schedule for the Medicinal Marines on the 26th, and that they clean the enemy out of your system for good!
May God's blessings continue to be with you. You are an inspiration to us all.
