I noticed recently that the lawyer commercials have changed over the years. They were once dominated by Larry H Parker and Jacoby and Meyers. Now its Joseph Emrani and a assortment of firms soliciting clients for various ailments.
It is now been two weeks since my last round of chemo pills. Now I wait for the chemo drugs to filter out of my system. The past few days I have been feeling better but still feel the affects of the drugs. I still tremble when attempting to write, Fuzzyness in the finger tips, slight tinge of the taste buds, and fatigue.
June will be my appointment with the oncologist to compare the scheduled tests with my baseline. Those tests include a CT Scan and colonoscopy.
Today I met with the surgeon. Interesting info. He removed 40% of my colon. Essentially everything is functioning well with a few adjustments in the bowel process that are permanent.
He did mention that the tingling in the hands will probably diminish with time but never go away completely as a result of chemo.
i did just get through watching an episode of Charlie Rose on cancer treatment. Immunology Therapy appears to be the next frontier. Apparently with colon cancer they are experimenting with applying it after chemo.
As with the lawyer commercials, cancer treatment will evolve. (didn't think I would be able to tie those two together!)
