by "possibly surgery," are you saying that after chemo is over and successful, they could possibly choose to leave your now-smaller benign tumor in you?

yes, but unlikely. apparently cure chances go up with surgery even with fully necrotized tumors so I'll probably have to do it anyways, which makes me nervous since it is SURGERY and all surgeries are scary.

When they take it out will you get to keep it in a jar and torture it for years?

I considered this until I realized how gross it was.

also here's a FUN FACT from the American Cancer Society: half of men and one third of women will get cancer in their lifetimes. most of these will occur after the age of 55, but still, jesus christ.

HALF THE PEOPLE IN THIS TOPIC WILL GET CANCER asdadsffffffffffff

I'd leave it inside, as to send a pretty clear message to any other potential tumor.

today is the lastof my long chemos. after this is two weeks of half an hour each and then a week break before we have another scan.

almost over!

my aunt is leaving for India on Sunday tho, so that will be some extra stress at home but I'm pretty psyched/nervouse about being done with this shit.

it always feels better with shorter bouts, but I won't be up to 100% for some time. the nausea is particularly bad today, I can't wait till I can go home and lie down.

My chemo is over! HOOOORAY!

In a week is a CAT scan and two weeks later is a PET scan and then we'll see about surgery et al, but CHEMO IS OVER. Christ, I'm happy.
