I was hoping it was a pulled muscle or something.
Pet Scan shows cancer is working my lower spine, right rib cage, and left hip area.
Doctor apologized He's gonna set up some doxetacel sessions later next week, maybe switch me over to Xtandi.
I'm in shock, a bit. Too bad Rachel was unable to ask questions. When she got back from x-skiing she had plenty.
I can't post my first thought on here, so other than that I am kind of speechless. I was so hoping....... I will say you are in my thoughts and prayers, and I truly mean that, for what it's worth. 🙏♥️
I'm kind of speechless, too. siouxbee. I feel a little gloom, and some sorrow -- for my family and for me. And the everyday pain seems more meaningful -- it's not possible it could be something else and go away.
I know this is what happens to all us guys here, unless we move to Canada. (Joke. ) I think this space will become more like my island -- folks here understand.
What a rotten thing for doctors. They strain to create a hopeful space for patients. So when one of your hundreds of patients crosses the line, it must feel like personal failure. Just last August we were high-fiving, had the world by the tail. I was a strong and manageable. I'd gladly not be a cancer doctor, apart from the money.
I'm looking forward to chemo next week -- first time i have thought that!
Rachel wanted me to call our son Jon, who is in grad school, and who struggles with serious depression. I thought, nah -- I'll tell him later, when I have a better grip on this.
You’re being very strong.. love the family ..😂
I’m sorry to hear that. I was hoping it was anything but cancer. I pray that the Taxotere and Xtanti shuts it down!
Yeah, me too. Nuts, right?
I'm so sorry to hear...
That you have more to bear
Hmm, that doesn't quite rhyme. I'll leave the poetry to you. Anyhow, total bummer but at least you have an answer and some treatment options. Best of luck and give it hell.
Wow, and just a week or so ago we were talking about slipping on ice and bone strength.
Wow Cisco that is an unwanted scan result.. I’m sorry ..that’s the case.. keep writing please.. I Hope that the doxe does some good for you ... SHIT! 😩
Looking forward my friend
Sorry to hear about the unpleasant surprise. I don't know much about your history. Have you thought about PSMA treatments? Have you done any genetic profiling? Perhaps a quick second opinion?
My wife knows as much about his as my MO. She's like an ongoing second opinion. a moebius strip -- about everything.
Now I have to look up PSMA, and genetic profiling. Is that where the cops pull you over for looking like you have cancer?
I'm still processing this information!
Thank you, snoraste!
Rachel must love you much ...
How sorry I am. Keeping you in my thoughts & prayers for successful treatment.
Praying for nothing but the best of outcomes for you..God Bless
I try not to bitch around the house (that’s what HU is for) but people see me hobbling around and know I hurt!!! I’ve posted here a couple times and deep down I’ve expected someone to come back with a similar condition that turned out to be cancer!!! Dodged the bullet so far but as stupid as it sounds, almost think hearing that it was cancer would be easier that the mind numbing, Qolife sucking up, worrying!!!
I’ve got no advice for you brother but Best of luck with this crap!!!!
Jc
Don't bitch too much or they will show you to the door. Kidding.
Those really are good wishes, Jim - thanks.
Oops! I’ve been deleted . But not banned yet . Not for bitching but for conflict in disagreements with others . If youre in that pain the chemo might knock it back . There is hope.
Haha he,thats what hu is for..?😂😂
Thanks brother. Well wishes mean more when they come from someone who understands.
Everyone here under treatment understands .. gdcsmfsob apc ...
If a man can find peace of mind in all of this it’s a miracle of sorts ... it’s easy to burn up or burn out with treatments .. Hang in there baby ! You face “the” test of all test..We want you here do fight for your life. Your family does need you ..😎
Well Kid, I have back pain and shoulder pain but I'm okay. Defying gravity. Marvelous. I'll have a great day and keep away from the Lie Detector. No PET for me bro.... It's all in the mind, innit. Cheers and Good Fortune.
