This Thursday will be treatment number 24 of 24 planned Erbitux treatments. Yup. One whole year of Erbitux. One whole year of "the rash." And a whole year of NED. 

I managed to work through the year but I have to admit that I feel exhausted most days. And I am really hoping to recover and regain some energy. 

Blessings to you all today.

Phil

    Celebration time

    image Happy Day, Phil! 

    So glad to hear that the treatments are over, hopefuly forever. FOEVER NED! 

    Don't overwork. We don't know what causes this darned Cancer, so you have to take tons of care; and after all that you have been through this year, you deserve some R&R. 

    Cyber hugs!

    Glad you're ned and getting a break from the chemo. My energy lately has improved and my outlook, 2015 was a rough year for me and the mental stress took a lot of my energy away, so feeling good about things should definitely boost your energy. Enjoy the feeling...............................Dave

    Congratulations!

    You made it and hopefully no more poison for a long time. With the current strides being made in immunotherapy drugs I'm hoping current chemo goes the way of the dinosaur. When I look back I still don't know if it did anything to help me and if I suffered all those side effects for nothing. Oh well, we're both NED now, congrats!
