February 12 th 2019 - Oncologist Appointment About The CT Results And Weekly Blood Tests.
The blood test are in and what a bounce back from last week. Platelet Count is 138 still a little low but way better then 37. The liver function indicators Aspartate transaminase 21 and alanine aminotransferas 39 are both within the normal range. Which is better then last week. We will still need to see what the Doctor has to say due to the CT Scan results.
Ok we went over everything and things look good. He did make comparison of how I am now compared to when we first started. I have responded to chemo, treatment extreamly well. I do not have to come back until March 26th. That will be for blood test, bone IV and Doctors appointment to see how I am doing.
I was not due for a bone supplement until next week. So we are going to do it today. What that means is that lunch is going to happen being its now 12 noon lunch time. LOL we do like the food here.
Not to bad. Hamburger 🍔 and soup 🍜 for lunch. I gained 5 lbs from last week. Now up to 225 lbs . 220 -230 lbs is a good weight for me. Time to eat. The bone supplement IV is hooked up and will take 30 minutes. We will do this again in 4 weeks.
Good lunch. I am full now.
So now I have an appointment on March 12 and 26th.
Now we will start to exercise and get back into the swing of life. It will take some time for the muscles to gain some strenth. We do have to do what we can. We can not lay down. We have to stay proactive and keep pushing.
We beat this round of cancer. It will come back. The question is when. If it comes back within 6 months then immunotherapy. After 6 months chemo. We are moving from one day at a time into one week at a time. How great will that be
We are not out of the woods so lets not get to far ahead of ourselfs. We stil need to be vigilant . This is very good news we got today. So lets enjoy it and smile.

It’s after 1 pm and on way home.then Nap time after I give the wife some good news . Be back on in a little while
Good news...I'd say that is great. Your numbers are better and you put on weight.
Talked with the oncologist for awhile and he cannot beleive the progress or as he put it the “response to treatment” and he also brought up the condition I was in on the first day along with expectation.
We still have a fight in front of us but we are doing outstanding. A great report today, great 👍
Thanks buddy , thank you
🤣 😂 yes it certainly is. I am still in awe.
I cannot even imagine but its the best news
I regret not having a picture when this started. I aged 10 years. If not for being yellow I would have been ash gray. LOL stating how bad it was will not serve it justice without pictures.
We are so greatful, humbled and happy. The wife is beside herself. Miracles happen and it happened here.
We are setting new standards for SCLC
I am beside myself with this news. I don’t think that I truly understand it yet.
I think i can understand that
So happy to see that you got good news!! How about changing your wording a bit and say that it might come back - not will. Our mind is such a powerful thing... And remember to be kind to yourself. I was so weak after the chemo, but little by little, it all came back to normal.
I can do that. It might come back
There was one guy in NYC where it did not come back. Only one ever for it not to. But then again he got hit by a bus and died. 😂 😝
I will hit the 90 day mark- one year mark - 5 year mark - then history for SCLC .
Yes the weakness is unbelievable and I am battling that one. Gained the weight back and working on the strenth. It is slow going, real slow and it wears me out real quick.
How are you doing. ????????
You put a smile on my face and most of all hope :)
Happy to put a smile on your face! I am doing well, thank you so much. Actually, going on a road trip starting on Sunday, with Steem friends. Are you on the way between LA and New Orleans? Love to give you a hug!
but feel yourself hugged from afar.
Wichita, Kansas. It’s a little out of your way. LOL
Drive carful and be safe
Steem freinds, nice. Road trip, LA to New Orleans epic . Have fun, not to much fun in New Orleans. 🤣
That is wonderful news!!! Let's hope it continues...your weight gain alone is such a good sign. Brian and I are both so happy for you, and I'm sure your wife will be thrilled!
She is so great full. Happy and full of joy.
It’s not only the weight gain but the girth/mass is bigger. In the arms and stuff. It’s no where near where it was but much better. It amazing how your muscles can loose mass.
That beer is getting closer
We can go from one day at a time to one week at a time.
Geez you'll be a right monster by the time I get to see you! I'm so happy for you guys 😊
This SCLC has taken a told on me. I will never get back to the point I was before this and thats ok. I just need to try.
My bones and muscles still hurt 😞 it will take time. We are doing better and I do fell better, thats a plus.
It is nice to have good news of this magnitude after everything we have been through. You know and can understand like nobody else can. I pray for both of you everyday. You are never far from me, never
It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy! One day I hope to give you a big hug😊❤️
I love you @wolfhart 😘😍😍😍😍 you're a real fighter and you made it! This time you made me cry a happy tears.. aarrgghhh what a relieve (stadium 1 off course😆) you did it! Don't come back to that place just for lunch😜
You got some happy tears here to
I have an appointment on the 12th and 24th. I don’t thing I will be there for lunch time
I am in denial a little. Still a little worried. But yes we have done it and made new stats. The Doctor did say something about being one of the people who beat this for years to come. We will see. It will be an interesting ride
What a great news for you and your loved ones. CONGRATULATIONS now regsining trust in that very strong body and make plans for your future
I have to build the body up again. Stamina , ahhhh starting to sound like a guy who needs help in the bedroom.
🦸♂️ No not here 😂 baby
We need to get into shape. I can hardly walk and get tired. We need to push ourself to overcome this. Very important to get back in the best shape we can for when this comes back.
Good case for @actifit

That's fantastic news! And you're a fighter, so this should get better and better!
Thank you
I did not mean to leave you hanging. A lot happened after that blood test came in.
Man it was all good news from there
No worries, you have more important things to attend to, my friend...
Hopefully you went and took your nap...
Just got up and got a little food.
Still just soaking it all in.
Nurse 👩⚕️ Mary caught the bone supplement just before we left. And I chose to have it done today and not next week when it was due. We will do another one on the 12th and every 4 weeks. Between the cancer and chemo they ate the hell out of my bones
Unfortunately a side effect of the chemo; they give you anything specific to help build them up?
That is the IV I get every 4 weeks. And the one I got today. The bone supplement. I will have to get the name of it and let you know. I will get another one on the 12th of march
Here's to you building up the entire system!
I like this approach being that so many organs and things were infected. It’s a treat the whole body.
And of course building up the whole body takes time. Along with each system. That’s why I say it is a battle and one day at a time.
