still plugging away
Wednesday, November 19th, 2008Hello everyone. The wedding (and birthday) were great, thank you all so much for gifts, cards, and even words of encouragement. It all helps a great deal. Brandy looked absolutely fantastic! She also wants to convey a deep and sincere thanks to those who helped her become a beautiful bride. We are enjoying the married life.
As for my health, not much has changed. I am still on Sutent and the doctor seems to think I am seeing benefits from it (although not for the bone problems). We won’t get official word until my next scan which should take place in a few weeks. I have started another round of radiation on the back of my head. These 2 spots are a bit more dense then the previous ones so they have to up the strength of radiation that I am receiving. The good thing is that it should not have any harsh side effects. However, I am expected to have hair-loss (which could be permanent) in that area. Looks like I may have to start thinking about Rogaine a few years earlier than expected…and my wardrobe of baseball caps.
Best regards and thoughtful prayers to our support team: family, friends, doctors, nurses, researchers, and other specialists who help with my overall well-being. God Bless!
