OT- The condition my condition is in

Mike D. · Post by **Mike D.** » Wed Oct 05, 2011 1:48 pm

Confusing, eh? I had a PET scan last week and saw the oncologist this morning. To say the least he is very pleased with my progress in eradicating this thing. I'm very nearly in remission but not quite there, yet. The scan showed on small "hot spot" remaining in the upper lobe of my left lung. The rest is totally GONE. The doc is giving me a month's rest from chemo so that my red and white blood cells can regenerate. My white count was just below the line to allow chemo that was scheduled for today. He's also gonna give me reduced dosages from here on until the thing is completely gone. The best thing is that I get to go on my planned mulie hunt at the end of this month. Thank you all for your continued kind thoughts and prayers. With the good Lord's graces I'll whip this thing once and for all.

Whatever you're doing is working; keep it up. I think that 'good' nutrition (whatever that is) makes a difference, but there isn't alot of exact science in that area.

Thanks ever so much everyone. When we go up there to hunt I'll take along the old .45-90 for a possible near shot and my reliable Remington 700 .30-06 for those that are out there a piece.
