Another Update.

[guitarweasel]

Today I'm going in for my last chemo (6 of 6) Some of the tumors have shrunk, but now it's in both Kidneys. The side effects have been absolutely brutal and I wouldn't wish them on anyone. The good news (?) is I'll be having a PET scan afterwards to see how the cancer has been effected, if it looks good my oncologist will take me of the two chemo drugs and just administer the Immunotherapy drug which is easier on my body, but still comes with some side effects of it's own.

I've lost all my hair and beard, I can only walk with a walker or assistance, I went from weighing over 200 lbs to weighing 130 and I can't play my freekin guitar at the moment due to nerve damage from the chemo.

So there you have it, my body is a wreck, but I'm still fighting!!

Was about to ask how you're holding up John. Having had family and friends do chemo, I'm aware how that crap kicks your butt. And I agree with Kerry. Listen to music. Good for the soul.

Good to hear from you, John. You sir, are a tough hombre! Cancer sucks.

 

[SG John]

Best wishes John. I hope for a good recovery. At least enough to still have some enjoyable years to keep pickin' and grinnin'.
