Thank you for sharing. I'm glad you were able to get some positive news regarding your treatment.

Good luck, Sir! That sounds like some pretty great news overall.

:clap:

Great news, J!!!

Continued best to you in your fight.

Pat

Will pray for you, J Diddy. Good luck and may God bless you, sir.

Kick some ass, you got this. You worked your ass off to get where you are today, this is just a speed bump.

Well some good news and not so good news:

I will start with the good: We caught this bitch EARLY! In fact the doctor said that it was so early she almost did not know where to begin. The pet scan showed that it is mostly around the neck and has not spread. She put it at stage one. Apparently the surgeon who removed the thyroid saw some funky stuff and removed the lymph nodes where they were gaining speed. I leave for MD Anderson to consult with an expert on this on Wednesday for a 7 day workup.

The not so good news: Pet scan also showed a 4.4 cm aortic aneurysm. Not quite big enough to open me up again right now but big enough to potentially cause some difficulties during chemo. The chemo will be different and more aggressive: 5 days inpatient 2 week rest because of the aggressive nature of this cancer. I wound up taking my leave earlier for work b/c my head wasn't there.

All in all I stand a good chance of kicking this thing. Thanks for the well wishes and prayers!

Well, on the 2nd part there it is good that was discovered so now the team at MD will know how to clean that up. No doubt you will beat all this quickly. Hang in there.

keep the good vibes going, diddy!!

Glad you got good news and it's stage 1.

Keep up the fight and hope all goes well.

Good luck, J Diddy. My thoughts are with you.

I edited the OP to put a link to get to my blog. Feel free to check it out.

Thanks for the link.

Good news is it sounds like it's organ related.

In Houston for the week. Today is first appointment at MD Anderson. Didn't sleep for shit.

Wish me luck.

I am taking the leap this week. Wednesday to get the Infusaport put in, Thursday I begin chemo.

I'm going to be a sexy bald bastage here real soon.
