My apology for not updating the blog for a long time. I met with my oncologist a couple of weeks ago and he’s decided to terminate my chemo treatments 3 months early. I had a about with diverticulitis that lasted three weeks, which was quite painful to deal with. It was also the straw that broke the camel’s back as far as my oncologist was concerned and he felt the chemo was doing me more harm than good.
My tumor markers have been clear, so that’s a good thing. Up next for me is my colostomy-reversal surgery, which is scheduled for late June at this point. I’ll also be having CT scans every three months for a year, and and then every six months after that, assuming the cancer hasn’t spread.
I want to say thanks again for all the support, emails, and cards. They mean everything to me.
Dale
