cancer, cancer, cancer

well.... of course it's cancer. 4 or 5 new spots in my right lung and a couple in my left. They removed one from my left to confirm it is cancer. They will be doing a new clinical trial on me. They won't start treatments until mid July. I have to have a complete re-staging done. CT, MRI, PET, EKG, and bone marrow test. After all of those tests are done they can start the treatments. Instead of chemo it will be infusions of an enzyme to attack the cancer, 1 1/2 hrs in Seattle every three weeks for six months to a year. depending on the results. they will continue to test me during all of this to see if it is even working. after all of the treatments, if they work, after a year or so, I will have ANOTHER stem cell transplant. I go in 2mrw to sign the paperwork for the clinical trial. Then start scheduling tests and crap. Anyway. that is all for now. ttyl. love u guys.
