It's my first week of chemo. Wish me luck. :) Falcon

I'm getting teary eyed... DAMMIT :). Falcon

Have to admit, pretty cool. And she's a looker too. Falcon

The folks at CA are truly awesome. The flowing support from them when I told them about my testicular cancer was jaw dropping. It made me realize how real they are despite being on a forum with only words. Before that they knew me as the babe guy in Column.us's forum and from my HDR mods before TK turn on Directx 10 in SF2.

Nice FAL rifle. Always wanted one. Falcon

Hey guys, The operation was successful. I wasn't knocked out completely. The procedure was simple and somewhat painless. They did put some relaxation drugs and numb drugs. They put a needle in my neck, I only felt a pinch and that was the only pain I felt. I remembered everything and when I was in my transporting bed to post op, I saw a X-RAY of my port in my main vein (connected to my heart.). VERY COOL. I made a nurse laugh during the operation though :). It was when she asked the operating doctor if i needed more of a relaxation drug and I nodded yes LOL. They put a tent like cover over my head with a opening so the nurses can check me and ask me if I'm ok. The OP room was pretty slick. It had a huge screen for the ultra sound (to see which side of my neck is best; They decided on my right side) and for the X-RAY. The operating doctor & the nurses in the OP room said I was the best patient they ever had. I will let my mother tell you more on the blog :) Falcon

Thanks guys :) Falcon

Yea I had the chemo class today & then saw Dr Sabiers about my start of treatment. I will start on February 24th. Falcon

I'm going in for my port. Wish me luck. Also my mother created a blog for updates of my chemo. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/erikglascoe Falcon

Guys just be careful. I won't want TK to completely lock the whole sim series. Just covering our six here that's all. OK, now if we can unlock the locked CAT files, does this mean we can unlock the clouds and try to fix the alpha bug? Falcon

On February 3rd, I'll be having another operation to put the port in. LOL, I thought it was like a IV. Guess not ;). Falcon

thanks for the warning ;) Falcon

guess i'm a turd for supporting NRA. Falcon

Nah, not always in pain. Just the normal stuff like ached muscles from spasms to pulled muscles like if I moved the wrong way. Right now the only pain I have now is the soreness of my operation but that is going away bit by bit each week. Falcon

Well at least I can be high again LOL Falcon

I have to do chemo for my Seminoma. My lymph node in my stomach area is 2 inches big. My treatment will be 5 days for every 3-4 weeks for 4 rounds. I will have a port on my chest area for the treatment because I have bad veins. After each round I will have to do a scan to see if my lymph node shrink or not. I probably will start sometime in next month. They want me to fully heal from my operation before starting my chemo treatment. Oh, my cancer stage is 2C. Falcon

Well, I have cancer called Seminoma. This cancer is very treatable though. Tomorrow I will have a scan of my body to see if the cancer has spread on my body. Depending on where I will probably have radiation only or both radiation and chemo. Also I will have blood drawn tomorrow to see if my cancer marker is lowered or not. I'm ok with this because its treatable. I will beat this. Falcon

Thanks SE, we knew each other for long time have we. The net is amazing sometimes. For the record I know I'll be in bed (for real this time, I know I said that when my operation was near) in my second or third round of chemo so I won't be updating you guys. Unless I can teach my mother how to post on here. I'll think about that. Falcon

I'm feeling ok about this. The doctor says this is highly curable. So I'm going to beat this. Period. Falcon

I had my scan yesterday. It was quick n easy to do. I was kind of concern of falling off the small table, I have a real bad startle reflex. But they strapped me in. They had to put dye in me so the pictures will be clear to see. The results will be done on Friday. I'll get my staples out too on Friday. The data on the scan will tell the doctor which treatment I need. I only hope its radiation only. Falcon

Misspelled the cancer: Seminoma. Falcon
