It's all fine, Peter. I was in the hospital, today, Christmas. That stinks! But, i have been home now, for hours. It's very cold here, today - but sunny.
I am tired. I got disconnected from my "At Home" Chemo pump - but they have to do it AT the hospital. Takes 15 minutes.

'Ya, and I had the colonoscopy this past Wednesday, and I am 100% "Clean" inside ~ meaning no new polyups have formed and rverything is looking nice inside.
First week of April I will have my next Cat Scan - and if if if those last 2 to 3 Centimeters of cancer are all gone, I can go onto an infusion only once a month, instead of the 2 x a month that I have had for the past 11 months.

Then, I will have 1 a month until August, and then I get checked, again, if all clear, totally 100% >> NO MORE CHEMO <<

When it's all done (hopefully by September) I will still need a Cat Scan every 120 days, as well as a colonoscopy every other year. But, that's not too big a deal. The reason is IF IF IF it comes back, and it often does, the secret is to catch its existence FAST, in the infant stages, then one does not need as much Chemo as I've had and conquering it can be done one heck of a lot faster. The sooner they find it, the less the person has to go through!
Believe it or not, I was AT death's door when I was diagnosed with Colon Cancer.....I was AT "Stage 4" ((There is NO "Stage 5" ....))
