All Hands Stand Down: Cancel Red Alert
August 08, 2009 11:30 AM
But continue at Yellow Alert.
I must say that the team at Marin General scared the HELL out of me. But after meeting with my oncologist yesterday, I now understand that my condition is not as dire as the Marin General docs would have me believe.
Yes, things have gotten more serious for me, but that only means I have to get more serious!
There are two issues going on right now. Fluid build up around my lungs (which hurts like hell) and the additional cancer nodules found on my right lung after the CAT scan at Marin General Thursday night.
The fluid will be drained on Tuesday. Until then, I am supposed to just rough it. I found that I get some relief when soaking in a bath, so that means I might be a wrinkly prune by Tuesday.
After that, I’ll be starting some intensive drug treatments that will require lengthy hospital stays. The doc says I’m young and strong so he’s going to give me everything he’s got.
I’m ready.
