As the previous post indicated cancer has raised its ugly head again. The lowest of the three tumours on my spine, in the sacrum area on the left side, is growing at an alarming rate. I will be in Edmonton at the Cross Cancer Institute Aug 27 for a radiation consult. And I have an immunotherapy session scheduled for Sept 6.
There has been a lot of pain this time around. Trying to control it with various pain meds. Apparently the radiation will release the pain.
Good news is that the tumour at the top of my spine at the base of my skull has shrunk.
I am still very hopeful that the radiation/immunotherapy combo will put me back into remission.
I will keep you updated. Here below is a little haiku poem I have written about this nasty turn of events. It sounds pretty dark because I am somewhat upset you might say at the turn of events, but of course never without hope:
Death Row
Waiting for the ax
To fall – Cancer hides and slinks
Just behind the door
Hi David; how is it going>>? Getting closer to remission; I do hope and pray. Not sure where you are, probably not home yet. Oh what a long time to be away from Home and Hagar. Much Love to you and to Sandra, your lady love.
ReplyDeleteHello; this is the 3rd attempt to make contact; something with my profile; please know so many care and feel helpless, but HE cares and He is not helpless. He is the great physician. I hope that your scheduled therapies are being administered and are helping you to reach remission. Your latest poem that you shared when Sandra you and I were at Giordanos has inspired me to sketch the night sky. Blessing and Prayers; Love fr Your Sister and Friend, Larna
