Well I am less than two weeks away from completing the 6 week concurrent radiation/chemotherapy. After this cycle is complete, the doctors will wait one month before taking a diagnostic MRI to see how effective the treatment has been. That MRI is scheduled for the beginning of April. The last IMRT treatment is scheduled for March 3rd, and I hope to return to work the following Monday, March 7th. The only possibility I have heard about continuing treatment has been chemotherapy one week out of the month for one or two years. I should be able to live a 'normal' life during this time. I guess this all depends on the MRI results in April.
My good days / bad days cycle continues. The past two days have been very good. No problems with my stomach cramps. My energy and appetite are way up. I have bumped up my exercise to 2 miles/day with more incline and speed on the treadmill. I actually break a sweat now. I also started going through the 1,300 unread emails at work.
Thanks to all the people that leave encouraging comments here, give me a call, and stop by. All of you have made this experience more bearable.
