I went to the research center today and signed my consent forms, got an EKG and lost some chest hair (), gave a urine sample, and had blood drawn. Tomorrow, I go to the main hospital on Rainbow, the place I loathe, and have a CT scan. Since they were able to get me in for a scan tomorrow, that will move my treatment schedule up about a week. And most important to me, there will be no conflict with my treatment and my upcoming trip. It will be over before I leave. I do not look forward to the two clinic days where I will have to sit there for 13 hours or the pint of blood they will drain from me over the next 7 weeks.

Here is the timeline: I leave KC on April 24 and arrive in Aalborg on April 25; on April 27 I am throwing a big party in the Irish House for my family and friends and have 22 confirmed so far, waiting to hear from 8 more; I am going on a side trip to London from May 2 to 7; then I am back in Denmark until June 20. My friend Chipp will be flying over with me and staying for 2 weeks, but he wanted to stay longer. He is going with me to London, too. My brother and nephew will be arriving the same day as I do, but a few hours later. My nephew is staying for 3 weeks and my brother for 6.

I certainly am. I haven't traveled abroad in far too long. Ed's stories on the road bring back a lot of good memories!

Hi Ed...nice to meet you
Do you have pancreatic cancer? Are you/they concerned about pale stools? |

No, I have colon cancer that metastasized to my liver and was at Stage IV when I was first diagnosed. It has since spread to lymph nodes in my abdomen and my lungs. The cancer in my colon is gone since they hacked out 9 inches of the thing in August of 2015. If pale stools were ever mentioned, it must have been once and I said no, since I really can't recall if my doc and I have ever talked about that aspect of it.

I saw a photo of the CT scan I had this past Saturday and one from two months ago. The existing cancer in my liver and lungs has grown and there are new spots in both, plus another lymph node. If this new treatment I am about to begin does nothing for me, I may not make it past August after all.
