Saturday May 25 update / Give honor to the fallen and celebrate there sacrifice. They did what they did so you can celebrate (responsible).

The weekend is here. This is an increadable weekend with great historic value due to the sacrifices of a few for the many. Learn what this weekend is a bout as you celebrate .

Its 7:30 pm things are starting to calm down so lets take this opertunity to give you the changes.

Last week I lost all the ability’s on my right side. Almost like a stroke. We called the oncology so they could get ahold of our oncologist . They called back within 15 minutes with things to watch out for. 10 minutes my oncologist was on the phone stating to call 911 and tell the neurological problem and needs transportation to the VA hospitol. He will met the ambulance. The ambulance was deverveted by VA to Wesley Med Ctr.

ER Wesley; CT right side neurology problem is caused by cancer tumors, 3 ea on the brain, VA oncologist wants you admitted here. Will explain later. I got settled in and we got started. I met my oncologist along with the radiology here.

Discharge : Sunday. We have so much to take care of 1st. They want to give me a day off along with themself then pick it up again.on tues. the steroids they have me on are brutal. We have been fighting their effects all week. I still have to have them for at least 4 weeks to include ween off period. I have to have these in effect before discharge.

Appointments
That’s most of them and general overall. I am so greatful for my oncologist that I got at the VA and the operation that is there. I found out who my oncologist is, WOW I will share that with you later. I must have impressed him back at our 1st meeting in September. It is amazing how your character develops relationships that you would never have developed.

i will do the priority radiation on Tuesday again and for the next 10 days. Of cours we will do one tomarrow at 8;30am . I should get the apointment schedule for them. Now we also have to remember I have an apointment with my oncologist on Tuesday also. The priority is the radiation therapy therapy. So I a hoping and they are working to do the appointments at 8:30 so I can met my oncologist early. I have to do blood test and go over everything. Where we are at, where we were and where we are going. And how we are going to get there. And the elephant in the room. What if we are not successful.

Ok how I see this:
It came back, we expected it, where it came back was or is the question.
In an organ that it didn’t really bother with.
We didn’t treat the brain aggressively. instead we consintrated on the worst hit organs. Liver, kidneys. And bone.
THats a good sign. What we did do worked . Now we can bring direct high intense radiation directily to the tumors. That’s a plus for us. We are taking ground or cells from it.

This is still a life and death issue. We have not put this cancer in remission. I am getting very optimistic on the 5 years mark. We will. Never defeat this enemy. We will control it.
I have a lot of work ahead of me the next couple weeks. The tumors on the brain is causing me a problem.
Right side paralysis
Steroids are taking some care of this. As the tumors shrink we will stop the steroids slowly but not for another ten days
Short term memory loss
Loss of mentality ( I have plenty to spare). ;)

OK you remember months ago I said I was working on legal items. (And why you need a power of attorney for every thing) my youngest has been attached to me hip for the past 9 months. We went to the lawyers for all the POA’s . He knows my views and thoughts. I am comfortable in him making decisions in my place until I gain control to correct his errors. Hahahahaha little humor. I am prepared for this.

Every thing this cancer does is a killer move. That why if they catch it early you get a year. There are only two stages. Small Cell Cancer and Advanced Small Cell Cancer. That’s it. Nothing fancy.

Its getting late . My son will be here at 8 am. We have treatment and meeting that will take a couple of hours. Its a big day tomorrow . We have to get it right. To many other things are relying on it. Its my decision to be discharged or not. This is a team effort.

I will go answer some more comments 😊
Don’t let cancer scare you. I will always support you on this journey. Its hard just ask my hero @lynncoyle1 and her husband. She is a better communicator then me. You have to talk to someone, don’t do it alone.
