Hot damn, scotty! That is great news! Despite the fact that we often have a difference of opinion when in comes to politics, let me be the first to wish you well. I hope that you continue to be blessed with a speedy recovery!

1. one down and one to go. the radiation treatments are finished all 36 sessions. the tumor has disapeared off the screen.
2. round two will be chemo treatments which will probably start in 2 or 3 weeks from now.
3. after the chemo is completed i will be given another CT scan and a endoscopy proceedure,
4. if all comes out ok then im on my way to recovery.
5. start making up for lost time

im feeling for the first time in months very positive. i know i still have chemo to undergo but the thought of being half way through the battle and the cancer not even showing up on the picture just thrills me to no end.
by golly i may end up in Colombia ta a party after all.
wish me luck on the second half of thisn proceedure.
thanks everyone for you great support.

lets dont celebrate to soon. i still have to recieve my chemo treatments and several tests. i also have to learn to eat and drink again i can barely sip water right now, hardly a party animal.
But then again in a few months from now who knows what recovery there will be.

It is definitely a fight, scotty...my family knows it well. Chemo is a bitch, but retain your positivity, fight and pray with your loved ones. Also, come back here anytime you need a word of encouragement. Obviously, there are a lot of beautiful people on pbh that sincerely wish the best for you.

Hi g_s, Hg and man t!

Well to answer your question HG, I have been weaning myself away fromt he place...and did manage to leave it in the hands of a couple of 22 year olds (!) while I went out to dinner and a movie...I had a few brief panic attacks, then managed to relax.

So maybe by the time scotty has finished his treatments, I'll be feeling ready to leave my baby.

Or else I might just pay someone a lot of money to look after it while I'm gone. That's the logical answer.

i dred then upcoming chemo treatments i know chemo is really hard on a person. i have no idea how much and how often i will recieve chemo i guess the doctor will fill me in with the program some time in the next week.
i am however excited to get it done and over with so i can live somewhat of a normal life again.
i need to get this feeding tube removed from my intestines and this port removed from my chest. I want to be whole man again and be free of alll the tubes and medical devices.
i look forward to the party, but remember the party is probably still some time away since i still have chemo and then time to recover.
i look forward to meeting you all in the future.

Nice to hear from you Scotty! Glad to hear your Treatments are progressing well with Postive results as evidenced by No Tumors on your CT Scan. Tell those Docs&nurses to inject you slowly in that Port, it won't burn so much! Great News! Good Luck!!
