I know, I know but I received some very good news today so I'm excited for Carlisle since I haven't been able to make it for the past couple years.
I saw my Oncologist today and she confirmed that not only did my latest PET and CT scans show no active cancer but they got the pathology of the tumor that was in my heal and the tumor was completely dead so the chemo is doing exactly what it was designed to do.
It's already been a long road, including a below knee amputation and I still have 13 chemo cycles to go but so far everything is going better then expected. I've worked almost every day through all this with only days missed for surgery, including working from my hospital bed, my chemo is in patent, 1 1/2 days and 5 1/2 days alternating cycles.
I expect my last treatment to be June 21st. I will have my prosthetic by then so I'm very anxious to get back to the show. I'm thinking of getting a show pass so I don't have to walk into and out of the grounds each day, I'll still be getting used to my new leg. Anyone have any advise?
Before anyone starts with condolences, please understand that I consider myself the luckiest man in the world. I'm doing exceptionally well with the chemo, it is my non dominant leg and everything is healing as well as it can. Not many people that deal with cancer can say all those things, hopefully my chemo continues to go as smooth as it has so far.
