Your in my prayers each night. keep us posted, and no it is not boring or annoying to hear about how your getting on, it's not hearing that is a bi*ch.

I really don't know what to say, cypress, except that we are thinking about you and your family, and hoping for the best.

Got some good news yesterday. The PET exam showed that there was NO cancer in my internal organs :banana: :banana: :banana: , so it appears that the cancer is just localized to my throat. I go in Monday to have a port surgically implanted in my chest to feed the chemo into, and another by my stomach to feed myself if I can't swallow once the radiation begins on my throat. Looks like the chemo and radiation will be starting soon, I'm ready to start fighting - I don't like this waiting around while cancer is growing in me. Lets get the fight started!

That's great news, cypress. Just keep at it. It's amazing what they can do nowadays if they catch it early enough.

Is all this to be on an outpatient basis?cypressfarms":36twm882 said:
If it causes problem talking you are lucky because you cajuns talk as much or more with your hands as you do with your mouth.
Of course nobody understands all that gesturing except another cajun.
But when a cajun gets excited talking, nobody understands that either except another cajun.

The fight starts tomorrow. I go in for outpatient surgery today to install a port, and start chemo tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m.
The sooner I start, the sooner I'll beat this thing!

Thought I'd post an update:
I go in for the second round of chemo on Monday morning, and start the third week of radiation Monday as well. The chemo is the real bear so far; makes you want to just crawl in bed and stay there. I've only missed one full day of work, but many of those days I was only there in "body" only.
If everything goes well I'll be finished with the treatments during April. Not too bad, just two more months. I can definitely relate to the crapp feeling that Peg has spoken about.
I still have a piece of advice that Jo sent me written on a piece of paper, and I think of it often. The fight is harder than I expected, but fight I will.
Thanks again for all of the well wishes and pm's. They really do mean a lot.

We will pray for you hear too! Don't work to hard if you can. Give your body a chance to heal, to regain some strength because it is a challenging road you are on.
That sounded so dorky...sorry.
