[Geanton]

I had my last chemo with docetaxel

Everything went okay my PSA 1.8

I hope everything will be okay

I am little but wiring about my

W B C. It is 4.4 now. Other than that

I am okay on pain yet I hope god will help me

[RalphieJr64]

At 4.4 your WBC is in the acceptable range.

[Cheerr]

Your WBC is on the lower end of “Normal” , so it’s okay.

We get the WBC checked during nadir point (10th day) to know if blood levels are still good.

Goodluck with the last cycle!!

[whatsinaname]

My WBC (taken 3 days back) was 1.95. I've checked with my doctor and he told me not to worry and take the CBC test again on Monday.

As to whether GOD will help you or not, I am sure you will have to ask GOD.

As far as I am concerned, Man created God, not the other way around.

For sure, as someone here would say : To each his own

And, I would reply : Goes without saying

If the believers on this board are allowed to write/preach freely, why shouldn't an agnostic

like I get a chance to speak my mind (once in a while) ??

Cheers !!! Try and enjoy life w/o panicking all the time !!!

I'm personally happier thinking my diagnosis was due to bad luck rather than a deliberate choice by an omnipotent being. I can't prove things one way or the other, and encourage people to pray for me if that's what they want to do. My mom even has me on the prayer list at her church.

I do sometimes find myself wondering if all the gods worshipped by earthlings are actually lab partners in some godly biology class working on their "create life" assignment. Maybe they got a B with the comment "human knees are a poor design"

I can also say I've had demonstrably better results taking with my oncologist than taking with God.

On the ball, Tom, very well spoken !!! Kudos to you !!!

[j-o-h-n in reply to tom67inMA]

Please tell your MOM to add me to her list... Thank you.... (and give her a big kiss and hug from me)....

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

I usually say "to each his own." Speaking for myself I (and I would guess most of our members) don't give a rats ass as to whether or not someone believes in a deity. We are in this fight together and I just hope that all of us believe in laughter............

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

[whatsinaname in reply to j-o-h-n]

And, so my reply to your "to each his own", would be "goes without saying"

I disagree with you that the majority on this board are non-believers or don't

care whether others believe or not. Otherwise, all the regular references to

prayer, God, etc would not be posted here on a regular basis. In fact, I actually think

that people on this board believe that one of the ways to either cure cancer or

prolong ones life is to have faith and pray to a deity.

We are not in this "fight" together as each of us is a different person with

varying degrees of cancer. I will never blindly follow what others might say.

As regards laughter, despite all the praises you receive, to be blunt, I don't

think your humor is particularly good. It tends to be sexually oriented mostly

with you having a definite obsession with your supposed ex-wife

But, otherwise, yes, humor (and laughter) is definitely an excellent trait

to have or cultivate.

Cheers !!

Lighten up Carlos, lighten up! I do hope you are doing well today. Enjoy.

[whatsinaname in reply to monte1111]

Hi monte1111,

No, I am not doing particularly well, but that was hardly the reason for my arguing with people on this board. Different points of view, that's all.

I know the done thing is to be "politically correct" and not rock the boat. That's not my nature, however

But, perhaps, it may be better for me not to waste my time replying (considering the paucity of time left for me) and just concentrate on other matters.

Thanks for your advice, monte1111, I know you mean well.

All the very best to you !!!

Carlos de Souza.

And all the very best to you!!!

[whatsinaname in reply to monte1111]

Thanks very much, monte1111 !!!

Oh God here we go again:👀

"In fact, I actually think

that people on this board believe that one of the ways to either cure cancer or

prolong ones life is to have faith and pray to a deity."

A FACT OR YOU THINK???

"As regards laughter, despite all the praises you receive, to be blunt, I don't

think your humor is particularly good. It tends to be sexually oriented mostly

with you having a definite obsession with your supposed ex-wife :-)"

TO EACH HIS OWN!!!

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

[whatsinaname in reply to j-o-h-n]

1) A FACT OR YOU THINK -----Just read the board and you will also come to the same conclusion that I have. And, if you don't come to the same conclusion, we can agree to disagree.

2) TO EACH HIS OWN ---- Repeating that phrase does not prove anything. Here too we can agree to disagree.

[j-o-h-n in reply to whatsinaname]

I only disagree to agree on days that end in Y. Agreed or to each his own?

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

[whatsinaname in reply to j-o-h-n]

Of course, TO EACH HIS OWN. I would never expect anyone to agree with me on everything I say.

And, vice versa.

That is why the correct reply to "to each his own" is that "it goes without saying".

[j-o-h-n in reply to whatsinaname]

I agree that "it goes without saying" even though I just said it....

[tom67inMA in reply to j-o-h-n]

My only regret is that I have but one "like" to give your reply.

[j-o-h-n in reply to tom67inMA]

Well thank you sir.... I really appreciate that.... Your Mom must be cool, cause the apple doesn't fall far from the tree....

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Hi Geanton! Sounds like things are going well! Keep up the good fight!

[bellyhappy58]

Congratulation for the completion of the treatment. My very best to you and will pray for your return to a healthy body and mind that allows you many more great years ahead.

[j-o-h-n]

Job well done.... Now keep up your spirit and laugh your ass off.....

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
