official diagnosis and prognosis (Page 2)

Posted by P-Angel I do have malignant cancer. It started in my right adrenal gland, spread to my liver where a tumor was formed, and the spread to my lungs. I start chemo on the 28th. At the moment the focus is on my liver, the tumor is massive ... whereas the cancer nodules on my lungs are minimal in comparison. My oncologist says that the chemo should zap all of those cancer cells, and put the cancer in remission in my lungs. However, my liver is in serious condition. The tumor has taken over 65% of my liver, and I'm damn lucky that I not riddled with infections, since the liver filters out all toxins in the body. The goal is to shrink the tumor and then keep it maintained. He said there is no cure, which we all know, and the only thing he can do is to prolong my life by keeping the cancer in remission, and the tumor reduced. The prognosis depends on how my body responds to the chemo treatments. If my liver shrinks and the other cancer cells go into remission, then I have a good 5 years. If my liver doesn't respond to treatments and they can't get it reduced ... then I won't make it through the summer, probably only a month or so. Because once my liver becomes severely compromised further, then I will be unable to fight off any illness, even a common cold or the flu could do me in. So, just letting everyone know that if I suddenly stop posting, then you'll know why. I won't close the account down. I'll just vanish one day. When it gets to the point where I cannot even post any longer, then I'll update everyone so they know the end is near. Happy trails, everyone ...... I'll see you all on the other side. In the meantime, if a ghost is haunting the fuck out of you and you know you've been a cunt and deserve it ..... yep, that would be me still kicking your ass. I'm sorry to hear this. Although I've had very limited interactions with you on the boards, I've always enjoyed reading your posts. You will be dearly missed. I wish you and your family well as you work through this. Sincerely.
