Vesuri Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hi all! I've been writing in introduce yourself -forum under adenocarcinoma non-small cell -thread. I've finished 6 rounds of chemotherapy and I'm currently not doing any treatments (...well apart from taking the trial medicine Nexavar), so I thought I post something under this thread. Next check-up is due 3 months or so. All the best to you people!!!!! -Jussi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendy Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Jussi, I am so glad your chemo is finished. Hopefully you will start to feel like yourself soon and enjoy life without thinking about cancer for awhile. Mendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie B Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I know how good it feels to finish up Chemo! It's been over 12 years for me, and I STILL remember my last days of my treatments. It really is a good feeling. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed that all is working well for you. And don't worry about where you last posted, most everyone here reads the entire board anyway. As long as your PROFILE is filled in, that's whats helpful to all of us. Best wishes, and keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesuri Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hi good people! Just got back from doctor's appointment. Yesterday had the first post chemo CT. Radiology comments were not in yet, but she said that as she had looked at the pictures qiuckly, everything looked stable. Maybe a slight/small increase in some liver spot. Anyway the message was that stable is good. Nonetheless, I enjoy every day of life! All the best to all of you!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesuri Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hi everyone! Went to see the doc today again. She gave me the status on the latest CT scan and everything was stable still. Life is good for a while again..... =) I don't think I've said it before but here goes. I want to thank ALL of you people who are in the same boat from the bottom of my heart! You guys are the BEST! I have told my doc that one of my "signs of light in a very bleak road" is this one great forum and all the people there. Of course family is great support too, but you guys know what this thing really is... So I'm still in the Nexavar trial too. Bottom of my feet are quite sore, but I can live with that. Have a good weekend people!!! Jussi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesuri Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Hi Good People! 07/10/2008 - another doc's appointment to review last week's CT results. Liver looks better! Also "maybe" a slight progression in lung tumor (in radiologists opinion..) My own doc and nurse had looked at the pictures also and they thought it's very difficult to say whether there's any progression or no in the lung tumort. All in all, still continuing with the nexavar trial and that's it! So, I'm very happy! Thanks again and all the Best to you People!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muriel Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Hi Jussi, I was just thinking about you and wondering what was going on. Thanks for the update. All-in-all, it sounds as tho. you're doing ok. Muriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaroleHammett Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Congratz on the liver report; and ditto (in my opinion) re lung tumor; i.e., if the possible growth seen by radiologist is contended, then even if there is growth it must be miniscule.

Vesuri Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hi All!!! Had a CT scan couple of days ago and doc called today about the findings. She let me off the Nexavar trial, since there's progression in liver and lung and new met in spine. Funny thing though, it has been my upper back that's been hurting at nights - nothing in my lower back.... So tomorrow doc tries to get full bone scan asap and get some radiation therapy arranged and plans also new chemotherapy "regime". All the best to you people!
