  1. Hello again LCSC Family. In better spirits, this time.

    They couldn't find anything wrong with my dad's xray film, so the doc says it might be pneunomia? He's on antibiotics for a week. The bone scan results are normal, thankfully. I hate that I'm always 'waiting' for the other shoe to drop, so to speak. But it can't be helped. :( In any case I'm always praying there won't ever be metastasis. The Onc says he'll start with a new oral chemo regimen in December.

    Dearest Kasey, yes I'm back home now! I had fun exploring Bratislava. I wish I could have visited more countries but it was so hard for us to get visas and such. We tried for Italy and Hungary but we were denied as it is harder to get visas in a foreign country, I think it's especially true for citizens from Asian countries.

    Thank you all, once again for the support and advice. :) I may not respond to your posts much, but I do read them. Much love.

  2. Thanks everyone. Your responses, prayers and well wishes have calmed my nerves, once again. :)

    He just had an xray and we are waiting for the readings. Doc suggested a bone scan for good measure too.

  3. Hi everyone,

    Just wanted to say hello and give an update on my dad. I haven't really been visiting the boards every day like I used to, because sometimes it can be emotionally stressful for me. I still do visit and drop by from time to time. I hope everyone's doing great.

    My dad's last scans (after 6 cycles of Gemzar/Carboplatin) were stable. The doctor wanted him on chemo break for two months, October to November. Just today, that's about four weeks without chemo, he gets chest pains and has been coughing up some blood-- I wonder what is causing this. His oncologist is currently on a plane from the United States, and they will be seeing her as soon as possible. Sigh. After a month of relative smooth sailing... here we go again. It just won't stop. :(
