Cont'd.. " The good, the bad and the ugly"

Saw the oncologist today and have a plan.  Yes, I do have cancer in 3 places, coming back in the liver, lymph nodes around the aorta, and one lung.  I say that because the other lung has a small node that we will be watching, so that would both lungs.

It the same kind of cancer that was in the bile duct, they say it had already moved to these other areas but were to small to be seen even with the technology of CT scans.

We will begin chemo treatments on the 14th and the 21st, this Friday is a stent replacement because the Dr thought I looked jaundiced, and we had to correct that problem b4 beginning chemo.

It looks like I'm on Merry go round of chemo, CT scan to see if the growth has been stopped, perhaps to disappear.  Only to reappear a few months later in another spot , or even the same spot.  Then chemo again, round and round.  This will be the same chemo used the last time since it worked so well then.

I will always have cancer, just trying to control it.

Surgery is not an option because it already is moving around the body, cut here, up it pops somewhere else.

Guess I better cancel my organ transfer option on the driver's license

More later, off to UPS now.

Luv you guys, God Bless, Captain

Trying to hang in there

The problem now is the unknown that looms ahead.  Just fighting the mental anxiety of waiting till Tuesday to see what the situation is, and what the plan is to fight it.

Trying to complete the Christmas decorations, b4 Joan's party on Thursday.

God Bless you all, Captain
