Update: Round 4 / Testing / Next Steps

Image
  Hello family & friends...it's been a while since my last post. There are 2 reasons for this: 1. The pneumonia was the cause of my issues post chemo (rounds 1 & 2) and the last 2 rounds (3 & 4) have been non-eventful and I've felt great (for the 1st time since last year) !   2. After my 4th round I was due for a lot of testing to determine 1) If the treatment is working and 2) based on that; will we move forward with my Stem Cell Transplant (SCT) after my 6th treatment.  A MOMENT OF TRUTH! I received all my test results yesterday 10/22 and I'm ecstatic to report that everything is moving as planned, the Dr.'s are happy. More specifically ( for the Dr. folks out here 😀 ), from my bone marrow biopsy there is no bone marrow involvement and from my CT scan my spleen is back to normal size, no new areas of growth and many lymph nodes are back to normal size (some still a little larger than normal but that could just be scarring - won't know for sur...

Treatment - Round 3

I've been waiting to write this post to make sure I was in the clear (Knock on Wood - I hope/think I am) ! I had my 3rd round of treatment back on Aug 31st - Sep 2nd. Outside of a few days of very itchy, annoying skin and the usual fatigue I have had no issues from my chemo - NO HOSPITAL ! Even better my blood counts are now starting to rebound and hold where they should be. I have not had to have a blood transfusion in 4 weeks and I get to skip next week's blood draw/testing all together. All of this is gravy but the more important part is the Doc said they are seeing very encouraging signs that my body is responding well to the treatment (meaning that the chemo is working and/or cancer is dying) . I will have full body scans after my next treatment to see to what degree. I've had normal energy to keep up with and enjoy the kiddo's and have even gotten in a couple rounds of golf...life is good! That is all for now.

Last Round of Chemo Complete!

Image
 Hi everyone (still following 😀). If you are, thank you and you've reached the best note yet! I finished my 6th and final round of chemo on 12/1. I've had 2 blood tests since then and both times my bloodwork has been great (so no transfusions). For the 1st time ever my Hemoglobin was in standard range (above 13)!  I have my PET scan scheduled for early January...the moment of truth. The PET scan will determine if I'm in remission. So far all signs have been positive and pointing to yes, so keep your fingers crossed.  Assuming I'm in remission then I will go in for my Stem Cell Transplant on January 12th. I will have a week of intense chemo followed by the infusion of my stem cells to help me recover. I could be in the hospital anywhere from 2-4 weeks (hopefully closer to 2!). Other than that everything is going great so THANKS for everyone's love and support! Life is Good Erik
