More Radiation/A Lot of Blessings

The results are in on the CT scan I had on Monday.


  • No active Cancer in the liver

  • No active Cancer in the lungs


  • No active Cancer in the Sacrum (lower back)


  • Continued pain due to neuropathy in my feet


  • Continued pain in the chest area

The spot that was on the T-4 on the spine has grown 4 millimeters. Thus, I get to start radiation on Monday. They will zap the spot.


They will also start giving me a drug, via IV that makes my bones strong. It also has a 5% rate of having a side effect in people. Portions of the jaw may die. So I get to go to the dentist first. I will also be part of a clinical study to track people that take this drug. I will also see a pain specialist to start controlling the pain I am experiencing.



Should be an exciting NEXT three weeks.



I feel very blessed that the cancer is staying "Non Active".
