  • Wesley's Surveillance Thread

    Nov chest x-ray was unchanged meaning good for us. Our two little buddies are still hanging out (see Ballroom - amorgan74). We don't have markers back yet but I think they are going to be okay too. Our upcoming schedule is labs and x-rays every month through Feb, CT scan in Jan and seeing the Dr. in Feb. I will keep posting as we go, we are still working with the urologist on Low T and HRT. Hopefully this will get better as time goes by too. Happy Turkey Day Eve everyone! April

      Dec Labs & X-rays

      We are clear for another month. According to the office the AFP is up a little since it's been at a trace for the last six months. It's now 3.5 but I am pretty sure that's okay. Chest x-rays are the same with Spot1 and Spot2 still hanging with us. I hope everyone has nothing but good reports too and is doing well. April

        Great to see this news April! AFP levels can and will fluctuate, but Wesley's remain within normal ranges.

            Test Time

            It's that time again, we have x-rays and labs tomorrow and Wesley has a bit of a cold right now so he's not looking forward to this. Will let everyone know what results are in about a week. Here's hoping everyone has a good weekend and is doing well. April

                Results are in - a okay!

                Our results for this month are in, chest x-ray clear and labs are stable AFP is still 3.3 so that's good. We go for the seven month CT scan 2/9 with labs and the yummy banana goo!!! Mid April will be the one year mark for diagnosis and mid July for 1 year after chemo. It will be nice to get there and I can't wait until Spring gets here this year. Hope everyone is doing well!

                    Thank you sir.

                    I am right there with you, rowing on the other side of the boat. Oh great joy when this is a thing of the past and everybody's completely healthy again. I am so looking forward to Spring, I have put everyone on alert that as soon as the water temps warm I will be headed South to the nearest piece of ocean from my house and I dare anybody to move me for a couple of days.

                        Great news April! Very happy to see the positive results for Wesley. FYI - Bermuda has fantastic beaches!

                        I fly into Boston tomorrow...CT Scan on Monday. I have little anxiety and feel all will go well. I get to meet Kev332 as well. A small group from the Dana Farber Marathon team is getting together for a group run. Updates to come!

                        All the best!

                          Good Luck

                          Good Luck, my thoughts and prayers are with you and the gang. We do the scans next month so I know everything will be okay for you and him. I think we are going to do the cruise thing in the fall for our tenth anniversary. I just have to plan it around the weather. I will look for your results in about a week and I got my fingers crossed for you. April

                              April, that is great news!!! Justin had his first CT scan today, he has had 2 blood works come back good, I don't have them in front of me but I think AFP is around 2.2-it was 11 before his RPLND. I need to post an update on Justin's thread-just wanted to tell you congrats!!! God Bless-Lanette
