Had my appointment and Chemo today. Asked the doctor about the level of Chemo, found out that when he said at my last appointment when he said he was going to light my up, he was taking me to max dose. So he is now on-board with aggressive treatment of the cancer/chemo battle. Asked about side effects (or lack of) and the attitude I got was enjoy it while it lasts....LOL So I am a lot happier with the Dr.'s treatment plan. For the first time I feel the Dr. understands that I will fight and win. I don't think he understood how much of a fighter I am. Also he seems to love the fact that we are always asking questions about treatment, etc. I get the feeling that a lot his patients don't ask a lot of questions and the fact that we do makes him happy. He was very happy that I am eating more (no matter if it's soup or chips and pretzels, it's still food). I have noticed that the side effects that I am having (like the cold sensitivity) are worse this time (which is to be expected). So he obviously is "Lighting me up" and as much as it is going to be rougher as time goes on, I am happy because this is the way to kill the cancer, in military combat terms it would be "Saturation Bombing" (in other words, turn their territory into a F****** Parking lot. I don't like to lose and in this I refuse to lose. (The doc likes our attitude in this too)
Until next time
