laban Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Hello All, Well, unfortunately the bone scan revealed several more areas of mets to the bones since the January scan and hubby will begin chemo treatment with Topotecan on Wednesday. It looks like he will go once a week for 3 weeks then one week off. Not sure how many cycles. He will also get Zometa once a month. He was really starting to feel pretty good, so having to start treatment again, even though it's not a surprise, is very disappointing. To say the least, he's a little bummed out, but has an overall pretty good attitude. Would love lots of prayers for him. Laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muriel Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 So sorry, Laurie. Sending prayers for him. By the way, I live in the Orlando area. Send me a pm and let me know what part of the area you are in. Muriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welthy Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Laurie, Oh crud -- sorry about the latest scans. It's hard for our guys to know they have to do more chemo -- we really do understand. Hoping for the best with this new treatment. Welthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treebywater Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Darn it! I hope this next course of treatment is THE thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz13 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Laurie, Tell "Hubby" I'm glad he decieded to try chemo again. I understand why he was hesitant. The last thing I want to do is go through all "that" again. Only the person that has gone through it can make the desision to do it again. I hope that this treatment does the trick and he's done with the chemo soon. Praying that the side effects are minimal and the "Kick a**" is strong. Hugs, Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyma Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Sorry about the scans not being the greatest - lots of prayers and positive thoughts going your way. Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchurchi Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 So sorry to hear your husband is heading back to treatment. Alan had the same "down" feeling when he had to start treatment again (after going a year without it). It can be just as hard on them emotionally as physically I will pray the treatments are successful in beating back the beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
