Guest DaveG Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 I went for chemo today and got the results of the CT Scan from yesterday. My oncologist took me into the computer room and brought it up to compare with the previous scan. Most of the tumors have shrunk over 50% Yippee. I did, however get some bad news, my white count was too low for chemo today, so that was put off until next week. Oh well, that's what we have to live with when we have lung cancer. Some more good news, the oncologist is excited that I am able to play golf. Sometimes I get the impression I am supposed to be really sick with this stuff. Anyone believe that?

JudyB Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 So, Dave, How come you're not given Neupogen to get those white counts up? Be careful while they are down; you'll have no resistance!!! Now, listen to me, ya hear????? Remember you didn't listen about dehydration!!!!! If any one of your golf buddies so much as sneezes, GET AWAY!!!! Take an aspirin and call me in the morning, Dr. JudyB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gail Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 I hated going in for chemo and having to go home. You have a good attitude about that. And you golfers--you probably said it was more time for golfing!!! Good news for you!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 What Judy said only much nicer (kidding Judy) You should check into shots for the white count. My husband got pneumonia letting his get too low so be careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Dave, Do you remember SHRINKY DINKS (be careful with the spelling on that last one! ). I'm counting on those cancer cells continuing to shrink. Take care of yourself and get those counts back up. Praying for you, good buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginnyd Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Dave, I say you've scored a birdie. Let's get an eagle on the next scan. We need new words to the Tiny Bubbles song. Something like Tiny Tumors getting smaller every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
