Stopping Chemo Treatments

dclock November 14th, 2007

With all the test I have gone through lately in my fight with Pneumonia, I was required to have a series of CAT scans.  These scans showed that my cancer is not responding to the chemotherapy.  In fact, it showed significant growth in all cancers and many new ones.   This is obviously very disappointing.  Given these results and after much discussion with my doctors and family, we have elected to stop any further chemotherapy.  There does not seem to be any treatment available at this time that would help.  I will continue to take IV antibiotics for a week, and that should stop the Pneumonia.  After that, I will be simply recovering from the chemo.  Once my lungs have fully recovered from the pneumonia, I will have a PET scan that will help my oncologist to determine about how much time I have left.  Please keep us in your prayers.  We will have many big decisions to make once we have an estimate of how long I have to live.
