Friday I had some test done. Today I got the results and my next round of Chemo. The test show that everything is fine for lung and heart function. All the tumors are showing signs of decrease. There are no new tumors. And the tumors in the spleen are almost all healed with 1 exception. But it is 1/2 size.

Encouraging news, Dale. Stay positive, you'll whip this one step at a time...:rock:

Awesome news Dale,
Hang in there brother,I,m sure this episode will be a distant memory before you know it:rock: :rock:
 
Tomorrow marks the 1/2 way point. I am excited that the treatments are working, but I must admit they are getting harder to recover from. The recovery is taking longer physically and mentally it is getting harder to be brave. The knowing what is about to happen is the hardest part of the process. But I will keep on keeping on.... As Roy and I have discussed, I can do anything for an hour or a day. So I just have to do that day over and over again till I finish.

Bring it on, I am ready.

Focus on the future, and how great it's going to be.

Just being able to walk your daughter down the aisle when she gets married will make it all worth while.

Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks.
 
Anxiety is a killer. Just the thought of chemo tomorrow has me up tonight... I need sleep, but i dare not take my sleeping pills with my daughter here. I will just have to get my sleep at the chemo lounge. Tomorrow is number 8 of 12.

Remember, we are all pulling for you Dale.:rock:
 
Keep it positive Dale!

You got this shit licked!

Can't wait to see pics of you in the driver's seat of the truck!!
 
Chemo is such a bitch..... man i wish they could get at the bad cell's without killing the good ones too.. FIGHT BROTHER YOU ARE DOING US ALL PROUD!

My Sister Had Leukemia I've been there once removed, keep fighting!
 
You're on the home stretch, now! I'm so happpy that the treatments are going as-planned.

I understand the pre-treatment anxiety. I'm sure that having a daughter to look after only adds to it. I was on sleeping pills for months. After a few treatments, I managed to develop a grim determination (mixed with a little anger) that I was going to drag myself through as many of these treatments as required. As a matter of fact, I began to look forward to them. Since while I was in the chemo lounge, I was doing *something*. Something was under my control; there was something that I could do amid the uncertainty. The fact that the treatments were working only served to reinforce, in my chemo-addled mind, that determination to keep going.

Sorry to ramble, but I look forward to every progress update and often wonder how you're doing. You have a lot of friends and family out here pulling for you.
 
Thanks for all the kind words. Number 8 has been administered.

The nausea is getting worse than ever. I got sick at the lounge today. They ended up giving me another dose of a anti-nausea med above and beyond the 3 I already had. It seemed to work. So now I am home and going to take a nap.

But I do have a small victory. I have managed to make one workout every 2 weeks. That workout has consistently gotten better. I either lift heavier or more reps than any of the previous workouts. So while I am in a degraded physical state, I am still making progress. And my workout partner just can not stand it :) He was hopeful to catch me during this time period.
