The Faster I Run, the Behinder I Get - II

The good news is that the latest CT scan suggests that the Cyberknife treatment was successful in eliminating the nodule on or near my heart (see the May 22 post, "Cyberknife Strikes Again").

The bad news is that the two small nodules in my left lung are growing and new ones are visible in my right lung and liver.

This, of course, gives me a reason to continue researching treatment options to share with readers by blogging - how's that for a positive spin on otherwise unpleasant news.

Since my condition is now consider "systemic," I'm focusing on chemotherapy options, including the newer gene-based approaches (see my post on June 7 and the link to "genetic profiling" in the sidebar).

I've added a new link to Chemocare.com in the sidebar. It's an excellent source of information about the many drugs used for chemotherapy and includes a message board for clients and care givers.

In the meantime, I'm keepin' on keepin' on.
