March 12 Tuesday - DAY 42 OF 90 - Back To Oncology Apointment
Today we find ourselfs back in Oncology. It is a scheduled appointment and on I told you about four weeks ago. We will have blood test and the bone strengthening IV supplement. It should all take about an hour.
I am however worried about the blood test. What will it show ? Or maybe it will show nothing at all.
** WHY DON’T YOU IRON A FOUR LEAF CLOVER ?**
BECAUSE YOU DON’T WANT TO PRESS YOUR LUCK
Two weeks from now on the 26th we will meet again with the oncologist. Best guess on what the cancer is doing. Modern Medicine . We should also be scheduling a CT scan for confirmation along with another oncologist appointment. This puts us at day 56 of 90 since chemo. An important time, if you think Moore attention is being place on tests you would be right. This is the time that they expect the cancer to show its evil head. Days 60 through 90 are or is the critical time. We are at the 7 month with cancer timeframe. The 90 days figure is from the last chemo treatment. And cannot have more chemo before the 90 days is up. That is why we are trying to get past the 90 days.
Small Cell Lung Cancer - The overall 5-year survival rate for small cell lung cancer ( extensive stage) is only about 1 percent. Without treatment, the average life expectancy for extensive disease is 2 to 4 months, and with treatment is 6 to 12 months.
Thats 1 person out of a hundred. I have five months to go to reach the 1 year. If you can get past the 1 year mark the odds go up drastically that you will make the 5 year mark. The amount of people who don’t make the one year mark is way above 90%. On the bright side I was told that I would not make it 4-6 months, and yet here I am. Here we are !!!
This might sound like gloom and doom. But to me its not. I see so many positive things here.
Zometa is administered under physician supervision. The maximum recommended dose of Zometa in hypercalcemia of malignancy or in patients with multiple myeloma and metastatic bone lesions from solid tumors
Zometa is used to treat high blood levels of calcium caused by cancer (also called hypercalcemia of malignancy). Zometa also treats multiple myeloma (a type of bone marrow cancer) or bone cancer that has spread from elsewhere in the body.
I get this infusion every month and have been for the last 6 months.
I am doing good and find so many positive things. The nurses here have not seen me in a month and everyone of them want to date me. No shit. I look so good HEHE. So I got that going for me.
All seriousness, I get to see people with cancer that is not as bad as mine and doing worse then me. I see all the worst of this disease and what it does from one end to the other. And I am doing good. So far anyway. I am under no illusion of what can happen or what has happened. I don’t know wether its my attitude, Strenth, youth or any combination of things. All I know is that I will not lay down and quit.

Fingers crossed! And of course the nurses want to date you lol You're probably sweet-talking them all while your wife rolls her eyes :)
Hahaha
I am just a nice guy. Who speaks the truth :)
You know I only have eyes for you, baby
Hahahaha

We're taking it all one day at a time! He says hi though.
No clown eyes
That’s the only way to do it. One day at a time.
Big hug 🤗
We all have faith in you
Thanks buddy, that means a lot
You impress me so much with the strength you are facing this with. You have already proved them wrong so just keep doing it. Also nice to read an update like this. Keep them coming.
It's been four weeks since the chemo and blood tests. they did not draw blood this time but will before the oncologist appointment. this is all about seeing how the cancer is doing and recovering from the chemo. that is why we need the 90 days. It's a wait and see but most of all recover from the damage and prepare for the next battle.
26th next appointment- and then a CT scan
If I can endure this others can also and better
Toda enfermedad , si no es tomada como una tragedia y le ponemos la lucha, aferrarse a
las ganas de vivir, se puede curar, obviamente con los tratamientos correspondientes.
Tu energía interna es buena !!! vas a ver que tendrás una larga vida si sigues así.
Lucho todos los días con mi enfermedad que de por si es para toda la vida (L.E.S) y aunque pasé por mucho dolor e internaciones, estudios horribles, siempre le puse todas mis fuerzas!! me aferré a mis hijos y marido para luchar.
Te mando mucha luz y sigue así, nunca bajes los brazos por mas doloroso que sea el camino!!!. abrazo enorme 💋

My best wishes to you and your family. bigger hugs back at you

We are going to make the 90 day. We have come so far. 90 is our next achievement. This is a team effort. I could not have made it this far without all the help. And thats the truth.
Dear @wolfhart,
Keep fighting. And, this is your year- afterall, you are a PIG! oink oink
yes I am a PIG! oink oink 😀
I will always keep up the fight 👍 thank you
I do remember you talking about you appointment in march so funny how time runs, the best is yet to come everything will work out well by Gods grace, so funny the nurses are tripping for you it happens i have being there before ahahhahahahhaa, i remember one time when i was kinda sick and i was admitted in the hospital one of the nurses always call me her husband, although she was young and a little bit older than me, well i don't know if it's just a trick to make their patient feel free and comfortable, maybe @nurseanne84 can explain more 🤣🤣....my prayers are with you man🙏
A little harmless flirting does make one feel better and puts a smile on your face.
when I first started there they kept their distance. I understand that. I was on death's bed. as time went on you get to know each other and when recovery is on the horizon people open up even more.
I can use all the prays there are. makes a difference
true fact though, well when ever they called me that i just smile about it, but deep within me was a boy crying to leave that environment so i could meet my family and friends, i totally understood your point.
