Exactly one week and one day ago I finished my 39th and final radiation. During this time I had 3 cisplatin sessions and 3 Erbitux sessions.
I haven't posted on the site much since I didn't react well to the treatment and much time has been spent at the hospital where I was admitted four different occassions. I thought I'd be happier that the everyday visits to the hospital are over but now comes the real challenge. It is hard to accept everything and see the learning of it. It is there somewhere inside me. I have to go back in six weeks for a neck dissection of the lymph nodes. Brian, I read your story, remarkable what you've done. The site is encouraging and nervewrecking at the same time. Reading other people's cancer battles makes me nervous, hopeful, fearful, fearless . . so many things to expect so many bridges to cross. Thank you for being here along the way.
