DH went for chemo today. They reviewed his last scans and decided that he was finished. His tumor shrunk more than 1/2 the size! They decided that the risk for him doing chemo was too much to keep going, and it already had a good impact. So, he got to ring the bell today! Wish I could have been there!
The next step is to meet with his Urologist in 2 weeks. He'll schedule the big surgery (removal of bladder and prostate). The surgery is extremely high risk for DH, but it's necessary. His moment of feeling happy about chemo was quickly replaced with worry about the surgery already, especially since I can't be there. I guess we'll hear all of the news when he next goes. (I'll wait in the car and hear the visit via zoom).
I'm pretty psyched that chemo went this well. Thank God! Thank you all for your good thoughts, prayers and very kind words. I/we appreciate it!! xo

I hope the surgery goes the very best it can, and so many of your worries are replaced with relief!

This news made me cry. I am so happy to read this! Awe, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm all ready to go out and maybe get food to cook for him for a special dinner, but I'm so happy that I'm jittery. This was unexpected! I don't even know what he's "allowed" to do right now!! I got so used to doing the chemo diet to help with his immune system. He said he wanted "lobster and a drink", but I don't think he's even allowed to drink............. (The lobster thing I can't do------they'd steam it for me at the grocery store, but it icks me out to bring it home for him!!!!!!). I'll figure it out. . .
Thank you all for being so sweet! I AM taking these next 2 weeks to just breathe and take this in! I'm so proud of him.

Oh my gosh Bergdorblonde I am so thrilled for the both of you. Hip, hip Hooray!!!  Maybe it was prayers, maybe it was your fantastic care of your DH including your special cooking and watching over his diet, maybe it was the chemo, but I suspect it was a combination of all three. I'm just so excited and happy for you and your DH! Enjoy this huge success and milestone. Celebrate like crazy because you both deserve it. Push the surgery to the back burner and don't think of it right now. Yes, there is a risk, but there is also a huge reward in that they could go in there and get all of the cancer out-think of it that way. And look how well your DH has done so far. He's got the fighting spirit! For now, celebrate the next two weeks like crazy! I'm so happy for you! |

(The lobster thing I can't do------they'd steam it for me at the grocery store, but it icks me out to bring it home for him!!!!!!). I'll figure it out. Keep doing the chemo diet and precautions. He probably cannot have alcohol. My mom continued with all the precautions for awhile and still keeps many of them today and I believe that is why she is so healthy at 82. I am thrilled for you and him. How's the cat doing??? |
