A very tough situation Doc.  I hope everyone gets through it as painlessly as possible.

Alright, busy week.  I went to the VA Monday for blood work.  Tuesday I had a PET scan, Wednesday I had Chemo and met with my Oncologist and today I had a consult with a VA Dr.  The good news..........my cancer is stable.  It has not grown (or shrunk) since September (my last PET scan).  I am...

No doubt, my friend....no doubt. 

Next week I have a PET scan (Tuesday), a visit to the VA (Monday) for a blood work up and a consult with them (Thursday).  Wednesday I will get my normal Avastin treatment and get the results of the current PET scan.  I'll let everyone know what's up Wednesday (Dec 10th).  Thanks for your...

I am meeting with the Vet Rep Tuesday.  We'll see what happens.  I have a letter from the oncologist, maybe that will help.  I am trying to get another appointment with Social Security now.  (I think next Friday).  I am old enough for retirement, but as I said because of health costs, either I...

Thanks Guys.  Currently I am trying to find a way to retire, but with medical costs (one of the IVs I get is $16,000.00 per 3 weeks) I am having to dance everywhere to get it done.  I am asking the VA for medical help and Social Security to help by letting me draw disability.  Hoops, nothing but...

Completed treatment #10 today.  Nothing really new to report. I will have a PET scan the 9th of December to check for changes.  Until then...........Thanks for checking in.   Steve

It looks like voting is over.  Good luck.

 Always glad to answer questions.   I'm feeling tired most of the time.  Now, with the Avastin maintenance therapy, at least I can pretty well think clearly.  (Chemo brain is a drag)  The Carbo / Taxol / Avastin combination treatments (6) got progressively harder to take.  Had there been 7...

It has been 3 weeks again.......wow, time sure flies.  I had my 9th treatment yesterday which was the 3rd Avastin only treatment.  I go back in next week for a bone strengthener (Zometa).  There is really no new news to share.  You can't see if anything is growing or shrinking without a PET scan...

Done.

 And exactly how many scotches does that take?  :rolleyes:

Snce you just started a new job and probably can't get vacation, I'll be happy to go for you!   :laugh:  Congrats my friend.  Good things, good people. :D

Cigars are great, but make sure first thing is your health.  Take care of yourself.  Good luck on the surgery.   Steve

Sure sorry about your father.  It's a tough deal.    Steve

Today I finished my 8th treatment overall and my 2nd Avastin only treatment.  I also received a bone strengthener.  The cancer in my body is at bay........hopefully for a period of time.  The  next couple of treatments will continue to be just like the one I had today.  In December sometime, I...

Wait for the "Cherry Pie".  Oh no, here we go again! :whistling:
