Just finish my PET and MRI at MD Anderson yesterday the MRI came back OK but PET lit up an area of suspect again, o-well back to the old normal.

Also on my Vision problem I had to see the Ophthalmologist there at MD Anderson and she found that I have a lot of pressure on my brain, not sure why. The PET and MRI does not show any Tumors so that is good news, there is a possibility of infection, so they did a lumbar tap. I am on medication for it right now and go back in 10 days for more follow-up.

Take care everyone, looks like I will continue to be in Gods workshop a little longer.

    Hondo, Sorry to hear about the hot spot. Prayers coming your way.
    From reading your post... I'm guessing the news about the pressure on your eyes is good... I mean no tumor it good!...
    One day at a time... God be with you .

    "possibility of infection"
    Hopefully it's all related to maybe an infection. PETS are wrong 25% of the time. I admire the way you just take it all in stride. One step at a time my friend.

    It takes time to achieve perfection. The workshop is not a bad place to be. You're in good hands there.

    Sorry to read that Hondo. Just hoping that they can get to the bottom of whatever is going on and get you healthy and relieve those symptoms for you.

    Pressure
    Hi Hondo, sorry to hear you have a bit of radiance on the PET. You'e done such a comprehensive job of fighting cancer I'm surprised it hasn't just given up by now. I'm always hoping for relief from any pain you may be having and improvment in your vision. "Pressure on the brain." Holy mackeral, can they get any more vague? As usual, you are the best at taking care of yourself, and I'm sending prayers and positive spirit to you and your wife.

    You will be in my prayers
    Hondo, It makes me sad to here that kind of news. Hopefully things will go your way and this time you will be permanantly cured. No headaches, No vision problems, No cancer. You have encouraged so many people on this website, what would we do without you. I will be pulling for you to do well. Homer

    Sure seems strange about the history with the PS you have. The area that lights-up hasn't gotten any bigger has it? Could be a peculiarity mass that's not C, but the PS lights-up like it is, and it'd be great to learn what it is for all of our future reference with our tests.

    Just got my eyes checked two weeks ago, and all is well. Eye Dr. said my pressure was on the high end of normal, but the optic nerves look great. Glaucoma runs big on my Mom's side of the family. Celebrated by getting two new pairs of glasses that are a little less studious, and a little more cool!


    Don't kid yourself, Tim- you're gonna be in God's workshop for a lot longer. Hope the antibiotics, along with the good things you eat and drink fix this. I was gonna say something about your having too good a weather in Louisiana for your own good, but see you got rocked by a system yesterday that included tornados. Your work will never be done in His workshop, Tim.

    Hoping for an infection...
    Hondo, sorry your news wasn't better but I will be praying that it is just an infection and the antibiotics will clear everything up.

    Don't get discouraged, keep positive thoughts and know that your friends are praying for you.

    We will both be in God's workshop for many more years.

    Hi, Hondo. I am sorry to hear of this result on your test, but we all know tests can be wrong. I got a NED on a PET back in November and in January I was back in the hospital having another malignancy removed. So, here's hoping yours is a false positive. As many others have said, you are an inspiration and here are some more best wishes and prayers headed your way.

    My Friend
    When i first came onto this site you were the first to wish me well.
    Your words has touched me so much and gave me the encouragement to move forward with a life treatening/changing experience. At one stage i thought its better to end it all - all the pain and anxiety almost killed me. Hondo, if you care for other so much without knowing them then God will keep on using you to help others, like me! Thank you so much and may God be with us all!
    Your friend

    Hondo,

    I can't add much to what the others have already mentioned. But, I can say this. When I do stop in here to read the posts, I see yours and always find them to be upbeat and with a positive attitude. It helps people place one foot in front of the other to move through their days and achieve their goals in beating this beast.

    Positive thoughts and Prayers headed your way and skyward.

    My Best to You and Everyone Here

    Survivor
    Hondo,

    To me, you pretty much define the term Survivor. If every person on H&N were asked who they received the most support from and who is one of their top friends on this site, I bet you would be at the top of the list. You gotta know that all your friends are behind you as usual!

    Positive thoughts!
