Iron Transfusion

Well today finally got here so I could go to the Tom and Mable Walker Cancer Treatment Center in Watertown for my appointment for my Iron Infusion !   I been waiting for over a Month, I need this for the Cancer Treatments.

.

.

My Bag of Iron mixed with saline and ready for injection !

.

.

All done with my Injection,  Iron Injections are faster, safer and get to Red Blood Cells quickly !

.

.

This is the Chemo and Infusions Room,  There are 8 Chairs available and they are usually all full !  You can watch TV, Have your wife with you at a distance.  Have juice, soda but NO Coffee.

.

Finished my Treatment an when leaving ran into my Brother Jim, He was there for his Chemotherapy Treatment for his Cancers, Jim is 90 and in pretty good shape !

.

.

.

.

 Top is Oldest Brother John,  Brother Donnie, an Sister Janice who have all passed away !

.

Go in Monday for my Infusion Port.  It hurts to take a deep breath, my right side is sore,  My Lymph Nodes under my right ard are tender to the touch !  I have an Ice Pack on my right side for Hours trying to ease the Pain,,, Cancer is NOT Painless !!! .

.

.

Tuesday is my first Chemo, I am ready for it to begin,  Nervous as I want this to work !  My Bags may be packed for Heaven but I'm not ready to "Board The Bus Yet"!

Food and Staying Busy

Well, so far the Cancer has taken about 32 pounds away from me !  I need this weight to Fight back when I start my Chemo,  Those pounds are important they say from those I talk to !    I do have quite a bit of Pain in my side around my Liver !  Some times on the 1 -10 scale it goes way up to 8 or 9 !  I found a Heat source that I lay on my side and it helps !

.

. Carving up the Bird today for late lunch,   Thanksgiving Day our Meal was Venison Tenderloin which my Brother in law brought and cooked for us !

.

.

My Honey enjoying the crispy Skin off the Bird as we get ready to feast !

.

.

My Turkey Dinner Lunch !    Delicious !

.

.

I have managed to reset up "Rock Tumblers" and have my first Batch Ground down and ready to fine grind.

.

.

Some Agates and Quartz and other finds ground down !

.

So, just waiting for my Treatments, staying buzy and eating !

Cancer Sucks

 Well I finished my 1st round of Radiation on the Cancer in my Leg an hip,  The steel Rod is finally settling in and I can walk a little with a Cane in my Right Hand.

.

December 4th I will have an Injection Port surgically implanted to start my Chemo Therapy on the Lungs and Liver and Spleen Cancers !

.

Down Load from Cancer Site !  Should start December 5th on Chemo !

.

I am also going to a Pulmonologist for "Markers" on my Lungs for capacity that they track the progress or decrease hopefully of the Cancers !

.

Last Trip to Doctor We got to finally see my PET Scan !

.

Down Load from Cancer Site !

.

My Cancer started the figure in the upper left Lung, spread to Trochanter Muscle in left Thigh  and spread to right lung, Spleen, Liver !

.

. Typical Chemo Room where Treatments happen !

.

I start my Implant December 4th,  My First Treatment will be right after I have an Iron Infusion as my Iron is low !

.

I am anxious to get started to stop this  from spreading !

.

.

We had a Breakfast. above is me, My brother Roland who had Facial Cancer, My Brother Jim who turned 90 and he and I are both in Treatment for Cancer, same Doctors !

.

.

 We enjoyed our Breakfast at the Red Rooster in Croghan !

.

.

.

Update,

 Well, we are half way thru the Radiation on the Groin and Upper leg.  It really "Hurts" !!!  I can be sitting quietly in my chair and then "Wham", a shooting Pain will hit my inner Thigh and make me yell !    Scares my Honey but she is always right there for me.

.

I have a Doctor for my Surgery who put the steel rod in my leg, A Doctor who is in Charge of My Radiation, another Doctor who is in Charge of my Chemo Therapy which starts soon.    I have another Doctor who is in Charge of My Cardiology and then A Doctor for my Dentistry and another for my Eyes, and Another for my Feet and Finally my GP who I will see monthly !   I surely support the Medical Fiweld and am "Blessed" that I have these awesome Men and Women in my Life to take Care of me.

.

The Best One of allo the above is My "Honey" !! She gives me 24 X 7 Care which keeps me afloat and High and Dry !
