Last Chemo in Utah for a while.

So Monday I went in to get my normal Chemo. But to my surprise my doctor in Utah had been talking to my main doctor in San Diego and they are going to switch me back to the last regimine of chemo that I was doing. So they need to order it all.

So my chemo date was changed until Thursday. So On Thursday I went and received my chemo and I am happy that they switched my chemo back because this regimine does not take as long as the other one did.

Instead of being there for roughly 4 hours this other chemo only takes like 2 hours. So less time stuck in the hospital is always a good thing.

Also since it was my last time getting Chemo in this hospital for a while they gave my a bottle of sparkling Apple cider. To celebrate and to wich me luck in my surgery.

So all systems are a go for surgery on January 6th. I will being having one last doctors appointment with my regular doctor in San Diego before my date with the surgeon. I will also be having a final CAT Scan of which they will be basing the surgery off of.

That is all for now.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

I only have a week and some change left in Utah. I will be gone until Late March so if you wish to give me a GIGANTIC Hug before I go just wanted to let you know that time is running out.

Date with a Surgeon and Chemo

So last friday I flew home for a grand total of 4 or 5 hours just to visit with the surgeon that will be doing my surgery on Jan 6th.

So everything went well and everything is on track for my surgery.

Also I had Chemo this past Monday and everything went well did not get as sick as I did last time so that was a good thing and now it Thanksgiving.

time to give thanks for all the wonderful medical technology that is available to all of us to use.

I am thankful for that.

Happy Turkey day top everyone

Focused on Thanksgiving

So I had Chemo one again last week and to be honest it I felt the worse afterwards than I have since I moved to Utah.

But I fit a lot better after Saturday past and am back to normal now. I just got back from a quick doctor appointment to check on my blood and everything is going well.

Next Friday I will fly home in the morning to meet with my surgeon only to fly back to Utah right afterwards for work on Saturday.

So everything is on schedule and school is going great and Surgery will be on Jan 6th.

and for Amy I will be returning to Provo somewhere around late March early April.

Doctor's Check Up & Scan

Yesterday (Friday) 

I flew in from Utah to San Diego and arrived at 11:20 and from there went directly to the airport to Children's Hospital where I met with my wonderful Dr. Schiff and had blood work done and talked about the future of my treatment.

I am still going to have surgery on Jan 6th and keep doing chemo until then.

I then went and had a CAT scan. i will update what the results are later.

Happy Halloween everyone.

Because of my bald head I has decided to Mr. Clean.

Random fact: The top #1 song on Billboard the day I was born was Funkytown. That may explain things.

KIMO!

So once again it was time to go get some chemo for my body.

Everything went smoothly I had good blood counts and good pee.

So just some updating information:

I will have check up scans on October 30th

and my surgery has been scheduled for January 6th, 2010

So that is how my future looks right now.

I also wanted answer a few questions from my readers

Deidre my flu shot did leave my arm a little pain for a few days after.

And For Kelsey

The cancer I have is called Ewings Sarcoma it is a bone cancer. But right now for me it is in my lungs and on top of my left diaphram.

So that is that.

Shots: 120

Pills: 290

Blood

Went and had blood work today.

Nothing special they just wanted to see how my counts were responding to the new chemos.

They came back normal and excited.

they made me get a flu shot.

The End.

All New Chemo

So this last Friday I was given in all new chemo to try to continue to shrink the cancer.

The new chemo takes a lot longer to infuse into my body. My old regiment only took like a hour and a half and this new regiment takes 3+ hours. So it was a much longer day at the hospital than I was use to.

I am also for the first time taking oral chemo treatments. I take to pills each night, which I started on Friday and will take them until Tuesday night. so far I have not really had any major side effects from the new treatment.

So that is all that is going on in the Cancer World.

Happy Monday!
