6/26 SBRT treatment and final treatment #4

7/9 back to Baltimore for more cryoablation on the lung nodule, possible rib nodule and maybe to touch up an ablation done in December.

    It sounds like a very good plan. I've always found it helpful to have a set plan and then prepare yourself and go for it.
    Stay strong!

    Thanks Phil. as you know

    Thanks Phil. as you know having a good plan even if you have to take matters into your own hands can certainly help your outcome. As you have probobly experienced when you have survived stage IV cancer this long it becomes a guessing game. It is so hard to do what you think is the right thing at the time without eliminating futures options as a result of what you do today.

    Staying strong is all I/we

    Staying strong is all I/we can do. Although sometimes it's hard. I went for my SBRT test run and allowed an extra 15 minutes travel time for possible traffic. well that wasn't nearly enough as there was a bad accident. I am sitting on the highway watching the clock realizing I am going to be late to the appointment and having trouble staying awake due to the Xeloda. I had a brief moment of weakness when a voice inside me said "what am I going through all of this crap for, is it worth it". Needless to say I shook that thought off almost as quick as it came into my head.

    Hope is certainly a good thing but cancer sure does test your hop in surviving at times.
