On Nov. 15-17, 2009, my son had his 17th course
of chemotherapy. After at least 20 hospital confinements since
January this year, from as short as 2 nights to as long as 2 weeks at a
time, this last in-patient session is a milestone for us. After ten months that ran the whole gamut of treatment from chemotherapy to
surgery to radiotherapy with major hiccups along the way, it was a
celebratory occasion as his doctors: urologist, nephrologist, thoracic-cardiovascular surgeon, and even the chaplain, dropped by to congratulate him. We
still have two more out-patient sessions remaining and if all goes as
planned, he will have the last chemo session on December
21, 2009.
PET-scan will be in January 2010 but I'll let tomorrow take care of itself.
