I am still toast, but I got a call around 4 after cutting some grass, and spoke with the doc about my cat scans monday. First, my 24 hour urine test which measures my high level of hormones causing the endocrine cancer dropped from 84 to 57 for the first time since they found the tumors on my liver.
Second, the cat scans showed global necrosis on all the tumors and shrinkage across the board......this explains the pain the last two months as some of these tumors are two inch two inch and the inflammation at times becomes very uncomfortable. It appears that doubling up the 30 mg shots to 60mg of shots is showing great results among patients as it does not cure the disease and ultimate spread, but it is showing that it is creating a stable disease.....they cannot tell me how long this period will last....or that the tumors may not start growing next week......but hell, I thought I was a goner last summer and I have lived a year longer, and all though weaker, I am very encouraged. I want to thank everyone for whacking me on this forum....I am so tired of people on their tippy toes worrying about offending me......you do not know how much I appreciate getting whacked and feeling normal and not having people whistle past the graveyard.......
I lost my bucket list poker tournament.....but who knows.....I may get another chance. All is good.
