David A Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Hi All my friends, Yesterday I had a rigid bronch and had a stent put in my right bronchus, I am breathing miraculosy better , everyone who knew how i was breathing is amazed at the way I'm breathing now and no whistling when I talk, I'm taking iot a little easy for the next few days as I understand it is not a pretty picture to have the stent dislodge, I'm good at taking it easy. I had a head ct this last wednesday and the results came back,NO mets to the brain!!!!!! I was a little concerned as I've been having lots of headaches, that eases my mind. Started chemo today(gemzar) and feeling okay right now, a little tired but then again it was along day . I thank everyone of you for your prayers, kind words, inspiration aand friendship, This diagnosis is a lot easier to handle this time due to all my great friends here. Love ya all, David A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bart ziggie ( Greg ) Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Great news David ! I also had an MRI of the brain done and it showed an empty head. I was also quite relieved given all the other Mets i had already. I too was having some headaches and it worried me. I am set to start my new regimine of treatment next week. Hopefully the both of us will soon be posting more in the Good News forum more often. Best of wishes on your treatment David.

Tiny Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Dave- Terrific news about no brain mets! You can put that one to sleep and concentrate on other battles. I'm so glad you are breathing easier. Stay positive and fight, fight, fight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay A. Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 David A., Breathing easy is such a good thing to be able to do! Now that you are able to move more air you may find that the headaches diminish. And I'm very happy that you have been accepted into the "Empty Head" club with all the others who have either no brain tumors, or have successfully treated brain tumors. Your news has made my morning, David A! Fay A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
