Aww, thanks for asking!       09/19/06 04:43 AM Edit Reply Quote atomic rose Reged: 06/01/04 Posts: 7013 Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!) I was going to post a quick update today anyway... there wasn't any news until last night. He starts chemo on October 2. He'll get it for 5 days in a row, then he'll be off (no chemo) for 3 weeks. His doctor is confident that he'll do well with it, and because he's young and strong, they're giving him 3 drugs at a pop instead of 2. He's really nervous about it - he's heard or read online all kinds of horror stories about people dying from the chemo - but I've told him that his chances are better with it than without! He had a liver biopsy (just confirming things) and also had the "port" put in for his chemo at the end of last week, so he's sore and cranky - heh - but other than that, he's doing ok for now. I'm doing ok - hanging in there. It's going to sound awful, but I'm trying to not think about it... you know, brooding and getting more depressed isn't doing either one of us any good. So I'm getting on with my life, such as it is. Thanks for asking about us! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
