cancer!!!
so for everyone who doesn't know, my cancer has returned after 11 years remission. It is not the same one. I have been diagnosed with angeo sarcoma. The oncologist believes that it is an onset of my radiation treatment from before. I saw the nuerosurgeon and the oncologist today.
At the nuerosurgeons today I found out that I am just waiting for my new skull to be made. For those of you who do not know, The tumors in my head pretty much diseased part of my skull so it was removed. I would sayit was a big chunck of the right side, yet I am not exactelly sure. Anywho, the nuerosurgeon is having a plastic skull made for me to place where there is just brain. Some of you may question if there is even a brain there,(you know who you are) but i can assure you there is.At the oncologist today I found out that we are waiting to start treatment until i receive(i before e except after c) my new skull.
The onc has diagnosed me with a undefined sarcoma, but believes it is an angeo sarcoma. The treatment plan so far is a drug called anvient, or something like that. It is a drug that attacks only the cancer cell itself. also I will probably have a small dose of some sort of chemotherapy.i will have a pet scan on monday to make sure the cancer has not spread anywhere else in my body. So that is pretty much everything for now. Thanks for all the support I have and may continue to receive through this whole process. It means the world to me.
love you all,
chris

Hi Chris,
ReplyDeleteIt was good seeing you at Buca! Hope you enjoy your Hulk Walkies! I thought your scar was pretty cool. I vote you should get a Charger Bolt Tattoo on your head to enhance the scar. It would be pretty sweet. Think about it... - Pete
