I just got off the phone with the oncologist...
The brain and PET scans came back clean, no cancer there. No cancer in the lungs. What this means is that the cancer is only where they expected it to be: the presacral mass tumor, the liver, and the bone.
The oncologist said to me, "You aren't going to die from this. You're going to be around for a long time." I will start chemo Tuesday as we discussed and also be treated for the bone loss by an infusion of calcium. At some point, I will also begin to take testasterone to boost my level up (due to being on steriods for such a long time, I have osteoporosis as well as low levels of testasterone).
I am so happy, I am floating on air right now. You wanna hear how things can change your life perspective? Now I only have to deal with chronic crohn's, asthma, diabetes, and asberger's syndrome, and I couldn't be happier!!
I thank you all for your love and your support. More to follow as I get it.
