Latest update on my health

You might try tramadol for pain, works for some, the side effects are not as bad as the codeine based drugs. Its the only drug I can take and still do machine work or drive a car safely.
 
A lot of prostate cancers are very slow growing. Best wishes and keep positive. The mind is an incredible thing when it comes to healing the body.
The psyche over the soma. Feel better.
 
Met with the Oncologist Wednesday. From the biopsy the form of prostate cancer I have is rare. So the Chemo that will work best will be started soon as a couple other problems are taken care of. The chemo will not kill the cancer but should shrink the tumor enough to alleviate the pain. The reason it will not kill the cancer is because it is normally used with radiation after. I have already had radiation so they can't do it again. So I may have to go for the chemo treatment every couple years to keep it at bay. It will take a few weeks of Chemo. So will be sick for bit. I am hoping it works so I get back to my 2 favorite hobbies. Machining and riding my motorcycle.
 
Best of luck to you, Bill. Hang in there, we'll all be pullin' for ya.
 
Thank you for the update Bill, I join everyone here in wanting this to work out for you.

Keep your spirits up. Prayers and best wishes.
 
Best of luck to you Bill, with your treatment, and here's hoping it all goes well. Went through the prostate cancer thing myself. Not much fun, but I'm still here. Cheers, Mike
 
Fight Bill fight , don't let the cancer win. Get the doctors lined up and push for answers , then get your butt to Sloan if YA have to be driven lieing in a van . Ill loan YA my sprinter with a lift on side if I get it back by July 6 when I need it. I rode laying in it to my daughter's wedding , didn't have the lift then. You can stand inside and a mattress will fit .
