You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: the cancer guy Subject: RE: Anyone ever made a comeback after something serious? Body:
Surgery was at the end of March. I didn't eat for about a month and had two follow up surgeries due to complications. I got out of the hospital in early May. I laid off chemo for a while due to 1/3rd of my liver being removed. They calculated I wouldn't be able to process the cell kill off and the drugs themselves. I have since done two rounds of second line chemo and am in the middle of round 3 this week. My primary oncologist said I will be doing chemo 1 week out of every 4 as long as it proves effective. The cancer I have tends to return in 98% of cases within 4-6 months of ceasing chemo. And, you're right, my expectations might just be too high. I am still having a hard time believing I have a disease like this. I was running 50-60 mpw (decent mileage) at 6:45 page when I was diagnosed. In the grand scheme of things, that's nothing great, but, it was 95% of what I was capable of doing. Just insane I can get a perfectly clean bill of health and four months later be diagnosed with an incurable form of cancer. There are things you never see coming and that was one of them. It would have been a completely different thing if I had some symptoms. Hit the submit button below if you want us to review the post.
