W2T how are things going? Hopefully there's an update with good news!

 

[Durro]

It’s been about a month since you posted W2T. Hope you are doing good with this Coronavirus shutdown that’s going on.

 

[Elvia1023]

How are you doing now? I hope you recover fast with no future issues.

Chemo now.
I’m so tired...and really emotional.
Not much of an appetite.im thin.
But I’m trying.
Yeah it’s not uncommon for me to just start crying for no reason..
Feels like my CNS is completely fried..??

The chemo infusions are harsh..reslly irritates my veins..damages them..hurts and looks weird...I’ll try and post some pics...
Lmao the surgeon fixed my umbilical hernia when he cut everything else out...
Looks good.


Last time I saw the oncologist the guy was beaming tho...seemed really pleased with how everything was going.

I’m quarantined at this point too I only leave the house to get treatment...
See the doc.
I’m lucky to have my family around but it’s been so hard on everyone..

Anyway...thanks everyone for checking in I appreciate it..

I have one more round of chemo then radiation treatment...I’m not sure but I think it’s a combo of radiation and chemo.

I read your post here and it scares me. I was just diagnosed with malignant melanoma that has spread into my lymp nodes. I don't have the complete results yet since the surgery. But they did take a good chunk out of my right quads.

Good luck the rest of the way.

Hang in there man! Cry if it needs to come out. Get through this, heal up and be healthy!! Ask the oncologist about Megace. They prescribe it to help with appetite.

Hey pig..
Sorry you’re dealing with this...
But I have a feeling you’re gonna do well.
You can handle it..

Let us know how it goes.

I’m interested to see how chemo effects you...its strange stuff.

 

[MR. BMJ]

Head up brother, you can do this! Stay positive, and surround yourself with a positive environment...megace should help with the appetite.

Has this damn coronavirus affected you in anyway? Wondering how things at the hospital have been for you as far as scheduling etc. What are you doing to protect yourself? I think your immune system is depressed now with that chemo, right?

Good to hear from you, that chemo is a nasty son of a bitch! Hang in there it will be over soon, you are in my prayers. What a time with the whole country pretty much at a standstill there’s nothing going on out here. Be careful and Stay strong bro!

I only leave the house for chemotherapy..
And no one can enter the building(hopital) with me...
I’m lucky to have family in the area and everyone has been bending over backwards to keep me safe.

Im in NM.
Numbers are low here...the natives seem to be getting hit hard tho...???

Im not sure that New Mexico even has a shelter in place order. Your state is going to peak a lot later I bet. Im in Ohio and we should peak by the end of the week or so. Youll probably have to watch things for awhile since your state is just getting started. Maybe the warm climate coming might knock it back and youll avoid most of it.

How many more weeks of chemo do you have? I bet you are counting the days. Im real glad you kept up with this thread. I was wondering about you, others here were too. Hang in there!

I’m just finishing a round of chemo and I have one more round of chemo...About six weeks..??
Then I believe I have radiation therapy and chemotherapy as a final treatment.
I’m not sure for how long.....

 

[Motorboat]

Hey brother! I am glad you are hanging in there brother. Thanks so much for the update.
I am so glad you are able to get treatment right now. All the best brother... from my heart!

Hopefully the radiation wont be as bad? Ive got a neighbor that had breast cancer, think it was stage 3, and she told me the radiation wasn't as tough as the chemo. Someday this will be all just a distant memory. I think my neighbor only goes in like 2x a year for a checkup now.
