Going for disconnect of the condom in a bottle today after the 5th chemo. Yippee! No side effects at all so far and keeping my finger crossed there won't be. Must remember to ask how many I have to have and whether I have a scan scheduled to find out how it's working or not.
When I asked how long I had left to me my oncologist said, he didn't know and would prefer not to say but that I would know when the time was getting close. Basically that is OK by me. As my grandfather was given 2 year to live afterdiagnosis of prostrate cancer and went on for another 8.Admittedly, the last 3 were vary difficult for my mother as she nursedhim at home right to the end and he went through tremendous pain.. Hopefully, pain control has moved on a lot since the 1960's.
Makes it a bit difficult to plan for the future though. Would love to go to visit my family in the States but have no idea about the position with insurance. Does anyone have any experience to help? I suspect that with two MIs in the past nad now the cancer it may be difficult if not impossible.
