I begin Tuesday with Oxaliplatin 3 week interval infusions. Xeloda, a pill, taken weekly for two weeks then off a week, etc for the duration of therapy, approx 8 months. Infusions every three weeks for 8 treatments.... Why treatment, for someone who has been declared terminal? A very large tumor is pressing on the brachial nerve causing excrutiating pain and numbness in my right arm. Besides we are all terminal from birth. I've been through it before.

Hi Darrell,
They have you scheduled for quite a routine. I will be thinking of you on Tuesday.
Some times what is declared is also subject to change. They must believe they can help change something for you. I believe you have a chance and can get through this. You are a very Strong person and a good fighter!
All of us here will be with you all the way. My thought & prayers are with you.
Take care

Darrell,
Perhaps the treatment will shrink that tumor and relieve you of that pain. You deserve to be pain free.
It's been said before and we'll say it again, You are a remarkable man. Anything is possible.
We will be thinking of you and wishing you the best on Tuesday.
Mike and Ginny

Darell==I know your tough enough mentally to deal whatever comes your way but it is so difficult to be up when you are in pain. Hope everyday gets a little better than the last. we are all pulling for you and once again your strength and attitude is amazing.
We are all terminal- it is the quality of your life, the goods,the bads and the ugmo.You have such compassion for others- you need to turn that caring on yourself and never lose hope.
