And on we go

[nightdog_barks]

Okay, so. I didn't want to make another post until I actually had some news, and, if we look at the calendar, it's been approximately ... four weeks. For any real news.



Remember how the doc said we'd be able to use a pill for treatment? Yeah, not so much. This is a more aggressive mover than they'd anticipated, so he wants to employ the old-fashioned method of going in and blasting it with an atomic bomb of chemo to stop it in its tracks. The drug is called abraxane (yes, I keep wanting to call it Abraxas). You take it once a week for three weeks, then one week off, then start again.

Monday we are meeting with insurance people, Tuesday I am having fluid drained from my lungs. Wednesday (supposedly), first chemo. I hope so. I am so tired of feeling like shit and am ready to punch this thing in its fucking face.

I also keep thinking of it as Abraxas.

*hugs* Hope this stuff gets in there and fucking obliterates the cancer.

Pumping yourself full of poison is punching cancer in its face, more or less.

Blast that cancer to hell, dear one.

::hugs::

Punch it in the fucking face!

Ugh. I had hoped it wouldn’t have to be that much chemo. :-P But since it is, okay, time to punch its fucking lights out.

What everybody else said. If you have to take the gloves off, do it.

Roundhouse punch it straight in its' head! Obliterate it from orbit!

I'm sorry to hear that you have to resort to chemo, but if so something related to Abrasax (if only by loose association) is a good thing.

Abraxane is definitely an atomic bomb of chemo. Time to nuke the little shits out of existence!

Punch it! Punch it so good! I'm sorry the news wasn't better but here's hoping this helps fast.

Punch it in its fucking face, then stomp all over the bits.

Punch it in the face! What is more metal that bombing yourself with a drug named after a Santana album?

What they said. Go, abraxane, go!!
