Title: Battleing Ewing Sarcoma
Post by: Adkins on February 23, 2011, 01:36:24 AM
Sence the 2nd week of june, I was diagnosed with ewing sarcoma. Its a rare form of lung cancer, the tumor was found on a ct or pt scan & it was so big... It made my right lung useless. But after 10 cycles of chemo, its close to being as thing of the past, I got the best docters for what my family can afford.I have a total of 17 cycles to take. any prayers would be nice, thank you for reading

Its still close to my heart, but the good thing is its still shrinking. Its down 30% from the last pet scan back in january which is great.

Got the results of the pet scan today, The tumor is still active but its down to s inch in diamiter. It didnt manage to move any were else. Now I might be able to do some radiation to kill it off. Only delay i have is geting back to work. The cancer is still attached near the heart though. I'll be back at the Zangmister center for a meeting with the radioligist next week, cool thing is I have all kinds of doctors in columbus comeing up with a game plan which is great.

Been a long fight, Adkins, and your still in it and holding your own.  Last rounds coming up now.

And it is Cool about the doctors.  They, like all of us, want to see you kick butt in this one....and they want to help as much as they can...also like us.

Take care and hang tough.

Im now down to 2 more radiation treatments, & I also managed to get alittle present for my self. A Mossberg 930 SPX Blackwater series. My next scan better show the other tumor to be dead, if not... then I'll just have to keep fighting with everything I have. If anyone wants to donate a copy of Magpul Dynamics- Art of the Dynamic Shotgun dvd, that would be nice. Tomorrow's the last one. thank god

I had some lesions on both hips & on my lower back. Now I have 9 more radiation treatments to kill'em off.  I did manage to get a few laughs after the radiation was over. As I was walking past the secratary I said & I quote, "Struting by, see something you like speak up". And yes the secratary was good lookin.

one of the doctors was such a quack. he said I might die... no time line though. but as much as I have foughtt, crawled, dragged and what not... The word quit is not on my list of orders. I even earned a Columbus swat team hat and shirtbecause of how tough i've Ive fought... & they just don't just pass'em out. I even had my magpul prs stock mounted on my ar15 for free, thanks to him

I don't like that Dr.  ..  But I guess he might be trying letting you know  your fight isn't over.  Well, it is never really over for anyone either, but you have had a tougher fight than most anyone and you've been winning.   You can 't let up and I know you won't.  You've been strong and tough and that won't end till you are through this....it's not gonna end then either...just get a lot easier.  You have way to much to do and look forward to at the end of this.

You got my prayers and my belief you'll win.

Take care.

Vince
