Norm M Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 It seems a cell or two of cancer escaped detection by a multitude of tests last year . It's back, this time it's chemo and radiation to kill it all . It has been caught early and is localized making treatment easier . i know the process won't be easy but I will persevere and live a normal of life as possible throughout . More importantly I will survive . timinmo and ollie 2 what a long strange trip it's been , put a dip in your hip, a glide in your stride and come on to the mother ship , the learning never ends
MOPanfisher Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 I like your attitude Norm. I know when I went through mine and wasn't allowed out to do stuff the OA forum kept.me going, part of why I like seeing pictures of fish. You already know what you are facing so follow the Dr. Instructions and whoop it's posterior.
BilletHead Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Dang it Norm just like when JD let me know his was back. What the heck ?

Smalliebigs Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Dang Norm!!!!....stay strong and kick it's posterior. My wife did 12 months of chemo and now runs marathons. Hang in there throwing positive vibes your way from Kirkwood

Norm M Posted March 28, 2017 Author Posted March 28, 2017 Thanks for all your support, it means a lot . When they did the surgery on the tongue they took all the lymph nodes on the left side out . The tests all showed no cancer in them or any where else in the body . The current cancer is growing where they took the lymph nodes out . My oncologist said all it would have taken was for a single cell of cancer to have been missed and restart the process . All the docs and tests agreed that there was no need to do chemo last time and that putting someone thru chemo with no apparent medical need just isn't done . I don't fault them , one cell would be very hard to find the way I see it . what a long strange trip it's been , put a dip in your hip, a glide in your stride and come on to the mother ship , the learning never ends
jdmidwest Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Mine drifted to the other side into a node that they did not take out. They are all gone and will find out tomorrow if they will radiate this time. Good luck with the treatments.
