OK, I'm moving through chemo #5. I've been sick, as was expected, and it's a drag being in this time. However, I know it'll pass and I'll have some peace before my final chemo.
What I haven't posted yet is some tremendous news.
My very respected surgeon, Dr. Greg Weinstein, met with me on Tuesday and was astonished at the progress and results of my treatment. He kept saying you're doing extremely well, and you're going to be ok. He said most people don't see the great results that I have.
Woo-hoo!
Beyond this, he wants to wait three months from now before making a final decision on lymph node dissection in my neck. He said a PET/CT scan will be taken and if it shows cancer, then we'll cut. Otherwise, no need.
It was a great visit, and even though I felt sick because of the chemo, I was elated.
In September 2007, David Cole was diagnosed with Stage IVb nasopharyngeal cancer. This blog describes the fight he and his friends and loved ones share. With God's blessing, this blog will chart Dave's brave recovery and the complete eradication of cancer from his body. As well as the medical, this blog will describe the emotional and lifestyle components of the fight.
To a brave man, good and bad luck are like his left and right hand. He uses both.

Soon you'll be all finished with the treatments and you'll be back to a normal life again.
