Hang in there ronkh !

Yes, Ron, I hope that your treatments with the new medicine will help you recover from your bout with cancer.
Are you a part of a clinical trial for this treatment???


I say that because yesterday we went to a funeral for my wife`s best friend`s son who was just 31 years old who passed away from cancer that started as melanoma and eventually progressed into his brain. Knew the kid, now a young man, and watched him grow up through the years, so it is VERY difficult on me and my wife to accept what has happened. His wish is that the new treatment he was participating in will lead to success for others. That`s just the kind of person he was. He was an avid fisherman here on the waters of Wisconsin, and muskies and walleyes where his fish of choice. He was shown at the funeral home in his fishing uniform and his boat was on display outside according to his wishes. I have a friend who took him to one of his treatments about 4 months before his passing and he had an allergic reaction the new medication. After the treatment, the friend offered to buy him lunch, as the treatments last about 4-5 hours. The young man`s reaction to the lunch request? "Screw that! You want to go fishing on Green Bay for walleye?" So onto the Bay they went and caught a few walleye. Nothing great in numbers, but my friend said, after going though that day what he went through, (and my friend loves fishing as well), why not go! The young man did what he loved, despite his not-so-great condition. As was stated at the funeral, "God just needed a great fisherman to run His fishing tournament in heaven." He truly has one of the best!!
 
I was accepted for the clinical trial, and then it got fast tracked approved for my type of cancer...........

The rest of your story was very uplifting Lonnie. Thanks.
 
This girl is inspiration.

Glad to hear you are gaining weight bud.

Can they give you a honorary wax waster certificate!?!?

Take care. My wife has been following along too. She is a scientist and works developing cancer drugs etc. She thinks it`s great that you were able to get on the new medicine.

At this point it would have to be honorary..... I can`t bend to even wash a car. :(

Please thank her for me. I really do appreciate it.
 
Ronkh:
Thanks for keeping us posted on your recovery. We (I) realize that this is a very personal heath issue and your willingness to share this info means alot. You`re a great contributor to this forum.

Wish I lived closer to you to talk with you face-to-face. Plus, it would be ALOT warmer than it is (will be) in Wisconsin. Snow first , then 0°F tonight. Brrrrr!!!!!
 
Ronkh, thanks for sharing your journey with battling cancer. It helps others who are battling, will battle, or affected otherwise by cancer. I just wanted to say thank you , and I absolutely wish you and your wife the best.
 
Scheduled for a pet scan in a couple of weeks to see where things stand.

THe dizzy/sob on bending/exertion maybe be permanent. :( Due to scar tissue, so I have to figure out how to wash/dry cars.

He wants me to keep weight between 170/175 so I got some to gain. (160 right now)


They got a sneaky blood test in on me :(
 
On the bright side, still get to chow down on that awesome food you post!

Hope the PET scan shows things moving in the right direction - Bummer about the dizzyness, etc. Hope the Doc is a bit off in that respect and it starts to subside.

Originally, this all started with superior venacava syndrome. That was actually caused a tumor pressing against it and cutting it down by 95%. Now that`s cleared, I`m getting great flow thru. No swelling, no purple stippling on chest.
