I took but just for a second..What are those Biological meds you are taking? I am so against what the medical shit has to offer..
I feel back but I told the doctor who was forcing steroids to get the fuck out of my room..I was so sick , these doctors gave me a damn stomach infection..
So I did the steroids for the damn radiation..
I asked for a CT scan make in Nov..and this damn doc. refused me..
Anyway there are too many cancer spots and I can pretty much die at anytime with a seizure...trying finding peace with that..
I take keytruda a drug changes your immune system to recognize cancer i have had really good results
plus i take a maintenance "chemo"
and a injection xgeva to harden my bones where the cancer was
in my first 4 treatments where i got three chemos at once
they gave me a lot of IV steroids
was hard adjusting to the awake and sleepy bounces
i had been diagnosed with stage four lung cancer
i had numerous metastasis spots on my femurs -pelvis - several vertebra- ribs - spot on my liver
and of course a huge one in my lung
currently all of the spots are gone
and the one in my lung has shrunk 77 percent
i get cat scans a little over every three months
That's great news Jon - they've made enormous advances in treatment, especially dealing with the immune system!
thanks Coyote i appreciate that so much
my first diagnosis before it was known that i would qualify for a biologic
the doc gave me a few months
when the results came back that i qualified for Keytruda he said it could change my life by years
i feel really good have not missed a day of work
and didnt lose my hair --LOL
Hey - keeping your hair is definately a bonus!
i was supposed to lose it in the first 4 treatments (the hardest ones) but didn't
instead got wild waving hair --LOL a gal at work was rather disappointed i didn't lose it
she was going to give me a skull tat --LOL which would have been kind of cool
Now that's pretty cool - I"ve NEVER heard of a cancer treatment improving hair....are you the guy on the upper right?
If I had to lose my hair - I would go for the wildest most artistic skull tat I could
