On December 21st I had my regularly scheduled PET/CT and unfortunately Abraxane has stopped working. I have progression again.

This is how AMAZING my medical team is: Saturday night 9:30, I’m in my chair nursing a bite from a boat propeller. Earlier that day Hunsberger took us up to beautiful Lake Tahoe and we tootled around on his boat. We had parked it in a lagoon where even though it was 22 feet deep,…

I had my PET/CT Tuesday morning and that afternoon picked up my report. At first it looks good but lacks some important details. I’m still waiting to hear from my oncologist about it but thought I’d let everyone know what it says: Findings: Head and neck: No adenopathy is identified. No suspicious focal FDG activity….

After all of my treatment was done. I focused on getting my strength and energy back. I went hiking with friends and joined a Cancer Rehab Group. They are so much fun, really pushed me and let me box! I also got to be on their website, in the marketing pamphlets and on a billboard!…
