Of course have the best onocologist ortho .. thanks for concerns … I will have to reach into their portal … Cancer is a strange cell animal .. we did heart and lung ultrasound yesterday ,, listen we have done everything … The first plan was radiation , To change to chemo right now , A) I am not ready to undergo such a treatment with many side effects and many pills for heart , kidney , nausea and urination, total hair loss and nails …. On my way back from
NYC It sunk in .. Aggressive treatment right now for a thigh tumor is a bit much … organs seem fine …. If in fact cells leaked out already , this is not a savior treatment .. hard on me and my family …. From the get go radiation 5 times a week for 5 weeks made sense … chemo is 50/50 also … Let’s see if radiation can shrink it , which was our first plan … chemo can cause more cancer also … And see after a few weeks if in fact this reduces size …. I think we said 11 inches … but so what … it’s on my upper thigh …very accessible . Through the years I have read 10 -20 lb tumors removed … I have to go by my gut and not destroy my life at the moment . I need to work and at least with radiation gives me time to sort out the future .. don’t get me wrong, initially I was all for it .. maybe still an important option … To kill all cells in my body is a huge undertaking for my family also … just spoke to nurse .. we will speak again on Friday
