Hi Tommy. Thank you for replying back to me with all that Info about CAPTEM. Now when I got back to the Hospital and see the Doctor I will ask him about the Pills your taking, because I have not heard of anyone that I know who has Cancer taking pills as a treatment so far, but I will talk to him about it that is for sure. my only concern is my age and all my other problems that I've got. Thing like my old hart that needs a Pacemaker to keep it ticking over. plus other things. The problem we face is they give you 1 thing to fix a problem but that pill then give you other problems. So what can one do is the Big question ????? . The day here right now is Tuesday 19/08/25 and the time is 6.15 Am in the morning . Take Care Tommy

Unfortunately, it is a balancing act. It seems everything we take has a side effect or some other potential consequence. But, things did not look good when I got diagnosed 3 years ago. So, I am just happy to be alive. I shouldn't be. I will deal with the consequences of doing whatever I have to do to stay that way. Nearly dying gives me a completely different perspective than most. It was far worse than any chemo that I have taken so far. The side effects don't compare to the pain and sickness associated with dying. By the way, you are about 16 hours ahead of me. I am in Arizona. Happy Tuesday morning to you.
