Back in May, I got a cancer diagnosis for a type with not too good an outlook. At the same time it was prognosticated that I'd have a year +/- with treatment.


I had a chemo treatment Thu followed by one of my 36 hr naps.
Saw the doc & I'm apparently doing real well. Asked about a prognosis and got the PERFECT answer--"You're as tough as an army boot. The cancer is responding well to the chemo. It's disappearing in some places and reducing in others. We'll run scans when this cycle is finished & go from there. As long as you can still tolerate chemo, we'll keep going."

PLEASE NOTE:
No time sentence!!!

I told him I'd used half the time frame the first doc gave me & he cracked up! Best thing I ever did switching docs!

I'm convinced that it's due to the faith & prayer of myself and others. Thank you so much my friends, but all the Glory to GOD!!!

Best wishes & thanks to you all!!!


David

Keep fighting, lilpill. You can win.

Your story about your doctors reminds me of the old Henny Youngman joke. Doctor gave a guy 6 mos. to live. Guy said he couldn't pay the bill. So he gave him another 6 mos.
