[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="17" id="3871124"] How you doin', bud? [/quote] Hanging in there. Just completed my 5th round of Chemo. Will get scanned and have my cancer reviewed to see if it is heading towards remission after I complete round 6 of Chemo. I am hoping for a good review.

I thought I should update. I completed days 9 and 10 of radiation therapy and got highly nauseous. I ended up back in hospital. In October I started mu chemo and that too made me sick for a while. I just completed my second chemo and it is better because I'm keeping after my anti-nausea meds. So far so good. I heard from my minister today for a pleasant talk.

Day 7 Radiation Treatment. This was Tuesday. Again, nice and easy. Returned in afternoon to speak with Oncology for chemotherapy. I will need to get an infusion port. Chemo will begin at that time.

I am hopeful I will respond well to treatment. Requested a Covid

Day 5 Radiation Treatment. This was on Friday. Went easily today. No extra appointments. Almost like going thru the drive-through. Weekend lots of rest as I'm getting tired more quickly. Day 6 Radiation Treatment. Went easily again. Medical team took a little extra time to ensure precision. I will have one or two errands today. More rest later today.

Day 3 Radiation Treatment. I also went to Physical Therapy to cancel those couple of appointments (I am too busy with other appointments for the care I would receive there to be of much value). I also went to my Primary Care for some blood work labs they wanted and a nursing visit. I put my new large size daily weekly planner to use managing appointments and notes. Day 4 Radiation Treatment. I also spoke with a nutritionist regarding getting healthy levels of p

Day 2 Radiation completed. I discovered that everybody wants me now. Lots of people calling for medical appointments with me. I can't keep track of them all. They had me scheduled at 9:45am for Radiation Oncology treatment which lasts for 1/2hour minimum and without my knowing it Physical Therapy at 10:00am. I had asked in Radiation Treatment if I had a PT appointment I still needed to make and was told no. I am getting a large appointment book today so I

I am planning my care, resources for help, and how I can best maintain independent living. I have in-law family members who care for me and the extended help I get from the VA. I am a veteran and worked for the VA for 10+ years. The sad part for me is I still feel fairly young I was just 68 this year. On the happier side there is at least some hope that quality of life and the years extended possibly.
