Hey all back today from hospital. Almost died and now have a blood clot on my leg. But the ct scan reports that chemo is working! Just home now and need to take it easy with my swollen leg but am grateful to have survived! Some dark moments but not giving up this battle! I will be on my feet soon! Mario

    Hope my news is as good as yours when I get the results in four weeks.

    Howdy Mario! So glad you
    Howdy Mario! So glad you decided to be back from the dead! Too bad about the blood clot though, but I understand those are treatable - even surgery can help.

    You rest and take good care of you! Hugs!

    Good News!!
    Mario,

    It is great to hear that you are home and the chemo is working! Sounds like you need to take it a bit easy until the blood clot issues get resolved but they should be able to handle that with the right medications.

    Hang in there!!!
