Good Health Friday

My reports from the Oncologist are back and my blood works has improved, my red blood cells and white blood cells are still low below the norm, but my body seems to be dealing with the two types of immunotherapies that are being pushed into my body to fight Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Melanoma.  My thyroid is not getting worse.  My nausea has all but disappeared.  My fatigue has all but disappeared as well.  I am on a routine of monthly IVIG which over a couple of months will assist in my improvements.  And, it appears that all my internal organs are functioning the way they should.  My sinus infections are gradually disappearing and the antibiotics are improving my facial skin infections.

I will continue to have a CT scan every three month but it will no longer be swapped out with a PET scan until some metabolic activity shows up on the CT scan...  The urgency there has been somewhat mitigated although it could worsen in time...  but, I don't think about that.

My heart monitor showed that I have no signs or any concern for afib returning so I am off of Xarelto and my bruise will begin to fade and my arms will look normal again.

My blotchy skin on my arms, face, neck, and shoulders is a sign that the drugs are killing the cancer and returning it to its normal pink color.

My cancer journey began in 2007 and in 2021 and after 13 years of treatment, I am beginning to show better than normal improvement, given where my Oncologist said I was 2 years ago from the standpoint that he was not sure he could stop what was happening to me.  At the end of 2021, I will end my 14th year and begin my 15th year...

Time flies when you are having fun...
