Title: Cancer update (12-4-12)
Post by: BenBow on September 13, 2012, 03:13:00 PM

We met with Dr. Shahene yesterday and it looks like the cancer is growing again but not a lot. We are weighing our options right now. They are checking to see if my kidneys are in good enough shape to qualify for a study on a new chemo drug. It might reduce the size some but has some tough side effects. Asking for prayers for wisdom and healing. Thanks everyone for your prayers.

Been waiting since got the note to see when/if you were going to post.

You know my heart on this and that you're covered up in prayers and well wishes.

Discernment and strength...

Looks like another ct scan in November than meet with the surgeon and oncologist to see where we go from here since I can't take the test chemo because of kidney damage from the prior chemos. Still feel good and I'm doing stairs and walking to get my body in shape for whatever they decide. Heck I might even be able to climb the volcanoes chasing sheep again (:-)

There's alot to be said for the more herbal treatments. The oil sounds like a viable option. I will remember to tell people dx with CA.
Prayer continues.

Met with the surgeon and the oncologist yesterday. They say the tumors are still growing but slowly. Due to the damage the prior chemos did to my kidneys they feel the best plan is to keep watching it and if it starts growing rapidly again to take as much out as possible with surgery again. There is no way of getting all of it out nor is there a chemo to kill it so I'm glad I feel as good as I do.
arrow flynn my prior experiences with cannabis tell me it's another excuse to get high. No thanks.

Sent you a note, Galen.  

Sorry it's not better news, but it could surely be worse...

I know nada about that oil stuff... but there seems to be a lot our native american medicine men knew that modern medicine ignored and lost.

Shame... You remain in my daily prayers, bud!
