So from here on out, if I'm following along, he'll get chemo and O2 and pain medication and whatever other appropriate meds, and hope for the best. And avoid smelly, dirty, germ-ridden Earthlings to the extent possible. Is that the plan?
Because that's not a great plan, but you gotta play the hand you were dealt.
I am wishing you and D peace, and strength, and pain-free days. And love.
Ol' Wifehorn joins me, and we wish you both the very best.

Pretty much. He'll get chemo when his labs allow it, to keep the chemo from taking him down, and when he can't get chemo, he's stuck in the house so germs can't get him, assuming the AML doesn't get him first. I think I mentioned earlier it's an aggressive type of cancer and he has an even more aggressive mutation. Early on, when Moffitt was working on getting him into a trial, he said he didn't want to be a guinea pig. That doc told him then he'd best get his affairs in order bc he only had a few weeks left, and that was last November. Long story short, he decided to become a guinea pig and he's still here.Foggy wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 4:45 pm So from here on out, if I'm following along, he'll get chemo and O2 and pain medication and whatever other appropriate meds, and hope for the best.

How are things going for you and your husband, Slim? If you're not up to talking about it, no worries, but I wanted to at least check in with you!

Thank you for asking. D is actually doing incredibly well. Almost impossibly incredibly well. He finished his first one-week chemo treatment, as opposed to the 2 weeks he was doing in the past that pretty much wiped out his immunity and left him trapped in the house. So far so good, even to the point that he can go without oxygen during the day as long as he's resting on the couch. Fingers are crossed.
And as a result, I'm doing a thousand percent better. Sometimes you don't even realize the stress you're under until it lets up and you collapse on the couch and just want to stay there for 3 or 4 days straight.
