well there is a pin prick of light at the end of the tunnel.
today I stared some chemo treatment to allow for injections to stimulate stem cell growth. these will then be harvested in a couple of weeks before being transplanted back into my system during mid July. the road to recovery has started. let's hope it's not a dead end!!
Hi Nick - thanks for the update - hope the 'transplant' is a success!
Just had a retired elder colleague (about a 10 year difference in our ages) diagnosed w/ a small tumor of the esophagus (squamous cell carcinoma which has a poor prognosis) - he has dealt w/ bladder cancer for a number of years (now under control) and was recently treated for a small lung cancer w/ radiation (probably successfully) - now is about to start a combination of radiation & chemo for his 'newest' cancer - wife & I have been a little despondent - about to have him over for dinner BEFORE his treatment begins - good luck!
