OT Cancer

My Cancer has spread. It is in the Spleen and has grown in two months. The doctor says once it hits the spleen it is in the blood and can go anywhere. I am out of the study. I start back on one of my original chemos. They wanted me on both original but I want my hair for xmas.

Dear Alex, I´m so sorry to read this..I have not been here for quite some time now and thought I should see how everyone is doing and then this is the first I see. I can´t believe it was a Placebo all the time and you were getting better. Then it was just your strong will that got you so far.

I know you will find a new way to hold the cancer back as long as you can, you are such a fighter. I have never known anyone like you, as strong and as focused on keeping the spirit up. I´m sending you warm hugs from over the Atlantic and wishing for a better outcome in your next checkup.
My best wishes for you always,
Your friend,
Dagun

I'm so sorry to hear that your cancer has spread, even throughout your own struggles you have reached out to help others.  You are a true blessing!  The power of possibilities appear to have helped you during the clinical trial, hold unto that faith and may it carry you forward.  You have a lot of people who are thinking and praying for you!

Alex I am so so sorry. I wouldn't have thought that the doctors would be able to disclose that sort of information from the clinical trial but maybe I'm wrong.

I guess that says a lot about who you are Alex with being on the placebo but you still managed to get so far with your cancer. Please don't get discouraged by what the doctor said rather turn it around & see how well you have done through all of this.

My heart goes out to you & I can only imagine how hard this is for you.

((((HUGS)))) Karry.

The Doctor felt she had to tell me I was getting the Placebo. I was no the placebo effect and that really blew it for me. I was doing so well for over a year. She said it was the Chemo the Doxil. I could have gone in only once a month not had all the extra tests like CT Scans every two months and the weekly screw ups by my nurse. I so wanted yell at my nurse with every screw up. But I might be on the miracle drug, But I was not.
