  • Survelliance Update - All Clear!!!

    Just had my follow up appointment with the Doc after my first CT scan since chemo ended back in August. Chest x-ray done a month ago is clear and the CT scan is clear, including the clot in my kidney vein that showed up on the last scan. Blood markers all normal.

    Yesterday was my 36th b-day and I have to say, I've never had a better present in my life than when, on Friday, the Doc said, "Everything looks great, stop taking the Coumadin and I'll see you in a couple of months".

    This is the first time in almost 12 months that I can say that I'm healthy!

    Still have issues with Neuropathy in my feet and ringing in my ears. He gave me a prescription for Neurontin and said "try it, it might help". We discussed Lyrica but I know my insurance will only cover a portion of it and it's probably expensive.

              Dave,

              THAT is what I like to hear! Feels great, doesn't it?

              Just a note, my neuropathy has improved greatly since a year ago. On the downside, the tinnitus seems about the same. Still, I'll take this condition over cancer any day.

              Best wishes and keep us informed!
