A Me Update

**Alan** · January 3rd, 2008, 07:14 PM

Hi Girls
It is time to give you another update. Yesterday I had o go for another CT scan and today had to go back to the hospital for the result of the CT and another dose of chemo.
The chemo has hit me pretty hard this time. I feel very nauseous, my arms and legs feel like they have been used as a punching bag by a world champ boxer. And I just generally feel very crappy.

But
I DON?T CARE
BECAUSE
After reviewing the CT scan the doctors could not see any sign of cancer.

This does not mean that the cancer has completely gone, but it is a very good sign.
I am going to have some more chemo in 3 weeks. And the doctors are going to discuss my case in their meeting next week.
I will need to have some more tests after that probably have to go to the Austin for these tests.
But things are looking good at the moment.
