Glad for you. Wish you the best! My grandma got the same bugger when she was 50. She is now 97. It works!

A little setback as a second biopsy confirms definite sarcoma, there was some thought it "could" have been something lesser. Five day a week for five weeks radiation therapy starts probably on the 14th. A couple weeks off, then between 2 and 10 potential surgeries to remove sections of my nose as they "chase" the tumor. Then reconstruction surgery.
At least it's winter!

Thoughts with you .. Like others have said .. just keep on truckin! I should have been died in High School from a wrestling accident. Lost my spleen but since then every day a gift. So enjoy each and every one.. even if they all aren't so lovely. You'll likely appreciate your R11 for a long time.

How are the treatments going Bill. That radiation does dry up the body. Are you getting Chemo also? I went through 25+ 5 last spring for a tumor on my lung. Then after that they surgically removed it along with part of my left lung. It has almost been 5 months. For me it got hard to swallow food due to the radiation treatments. Just had my 3 month ckup and it is all good. i wish you the best of luck. ..and ... better days are ahead.

Radiation is going fairly well, about 1/2 way through as of today. The old proboscis is getting redder/drier everyday, but so far not really uncomfortable. No chemo anticipated as it appears that the cancer is only in my nose tissues. Surgery tentatively scheduled for late January or February. They will sequentially remove portions of my nose until they find a "clear margin", then do a reconstruction to recover as much functionality as possible. They tell me it's possible that some cancerous cells may have spread to my lungs or liver, but current scans are totally clear. I'm planning on keeping it that way. Had a bit of a step back with sort of an unrelated issue. Seems I can't walk and chew gum as I had a bit of a stumble last week. Trip to the ER Saturday morning, a possibility that I had fractured my patella and/or torn my ACL. However, a follow up doc visit confirmed that it was merely a severe sprain. Still painful, but better and managed a few steps without crutches today. As we say around here...when it rains, it pours...lol. Thanks very much for the encouragement, it is appreciated! Cheers! Bill |
