cancer head

[s219]

At my son's house in Houston. Went to MD Anderson this a.m. for CT scan, blood work, and Dr visit. The tumor has continued to shrink. After reviewing the CT scan and blood work and sticking a scope down my nose to look directly, they have canceled surgery. THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO REMOVE! No remnant - nothing! ....The tumor has totally dissipated and all I have left to deal with is the excess fluid - called lymphedema - and I still have healing in my throat to finish.....BUT ...the cancer is gone! At least for now and hopefully forever. I go back every 3 months now for checkup and on a schedule after that for however many years.....but...WOO HOO...I'm free and clear. I sure hope others here can have this kinda luck too.....Jim -- ya listening? Keep following my lead and get better now.

Awesome news Mike! Very glad to hear it.

Mike, So glad to hear the good news. God has granted you a miracle.

So happy for you Mike. I've lost 2 young moms in the last month and a half to different types of cancer, both had 2 young daughters. Neither smoked and lived good lives. So I've been praying extra hard for everyone I know with cancer and for a cure for this dreadful disease.

We had lunch with Mike at Don and Karen's (TxDon) yesterday. When we left we, wife and me, talked about how good Mike looked.

This is wonderful, I guess we need to think about doing that gate sooner than later.

Side note: Mike's doing his best to prove the good die young wrong.

Mike, I'm sure pleased to hear of your great success. I know they will keep monitoring you ever so often to make sure the remission is complete and permanent. We will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers. I really appreciate your pulling for me too. We just have too many fun things to do to have something like this get in our way.

Great news, Mike! You'll probably go for a checkup every 3 to 6 months the rest of your life, but that's OK, too. My wife goes every 6 months still; 11 years after her breast cancer and no recurrence.

I went for bone scans every 6 months for 5 years, then annually for 10 years, and then every other year for 5 years, then they said I was officially cured, but to tell you the truth, even though statistics say that they're right, it made me feel a little more at peace to have the routine scans.

Hi Mike,

Major congratulations on the awesome news, I love to hear that kind.

We will continue to keep you in our prayers for complete and permanent remission.

I went through a cancer scare with my uncle a few years ago and it really does flip your world upside down. He focused on the stuff he could control, like eating right and researching ways to support his body during treatment, just like you mentioned. It helped him feel more proactive about everything, even with all the hospital trips and stress. He also found that keeping a notebook of questions for his doctors and tracking how he felt each day made it a bit easier to deal with all the information and choices.

In the middle of all our worry, we also looked into different supportive medications, including anti-cancer meds you can get online. Some folks want alternatives, and for any who want to buy modafinil online or check out other products, there are legit sites that don’t ask for a prescription. Just remember to always double-check with your care team if you add anything new.
