Sorry that it has been so long since my last blog but it has taken a while to get things sorted out since the bad news in September. In September I went to the Mayo Clinic for my 6 month checkup and unfortunately the tumour had grown and 2 additional tumours were found. The Dr. recommended that I stop the chemo. About 2 hours after hearing this I was on a plane heading back to Ottawa trying to figure out what to do. As you can imagine this has been a very difficult time.
A few weeks after returning, I contacted Dr. Poulin Chief of Surgery at the General Hospital and he put me in contact with a Dr. who is working here from France. He works specifically with patients where chemo has failed. It appears that in a few weeks I will be starting radiation. It will be a crueling schedule 5 days a week for a month but fingers crossed it will work.
I hope that you all have a wonderful holiday season and all the best in 2011.
