Also it was first plasma transfer with new injection port … it’s kind of cool though certainly funky as I could not shower that area for a week … at least for me use of the port made the blood plasma less icy.
Later ‘feeling’ super charged after two bags of plasma I drove to a local convenience store for soda and to practice some independence. Proudly cradling my 2 liter Pepsi while keeping my balance …(I had left my cane in the car and was using display cases for balance) … that is until I went to hand the Pepsi to the clerk…
Like a football field fumble chaos breaks loose …. Bottle spins on counter … spilling carbonation accelerating spin … bottle slides bottom first to floor shooting back a geyser of carbonation … I kneel down to pick up the bottle … WAIT! Did I just do this again?
… Two young clerks are staring at this all in disbelief as I am down on the floor sheepishly holding up a still dripping 2 liter Pepsi trying to explain that I cannot get up … actually one was about to burst holding back her laughter while the other shifted her urgency when I played the “c” word and blamed chemotherapy …
… any way they get me up … as I retell the story at home I find my daughter laughing hysterically for the second time this day and complaining that why when out with her I don’t do more stupidly entertaining antics.
… trying to outlive Stage 4 Lung Cancer involves everything from exhaustion to fear to depression to joy and yes sometimes even comic relief ...
Two weeks ago I DJ’d/MC’d 4th Annual Free To Breathe Lung Cancer 5K RUN/WALK … 3.5 months since DX of Stage 4 Lung Cancer with brain mets … receiving this thank you card was humbling …

First, let me congratulate you on a successful port usage! If you have to go through with this, it's the best (IMHO)!!!
ReplyDeleteSecond, you "sound" better via your writing than you have. I like that!!
Third for getting 'stuck' not just once, but twice on the same day! HA!
Glad you are (at least to me) feeling better!
Jackie
Jackie, I love my port and I was told the reason this plasma transfusion was not so frigid is because the plasma is injected in a large vein to your core which warms it faster.
Deletegetting stuck twice ... a new frontier for me :)
I just love your great sense of humor and beautiful spirit, Patrick. I do have to admit I was giggling a little bit over here as I read of your over confidence~two times. Glad you threw the 'C' bomb on the store clerks so they knew you needed some help. You must feel so great after reading that touching letter from the 'Free to Breathe' organization. Way to go Patrick! I can't imagine how your presence helped so many at that event. Thinking of you daily-Fight Fight Fight my awesome friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda ... I can't use chemotherapy as an excuse to Megan or medical staff - they just shake their heads, laugh and ask what was I thinking
DeleteAt least you could use the c excuse--as for me just plain old OLD! LOL As with Jackie so glad to hear the Patrick we all love (sense of humor and all!) I wasn't just giggling, like Megan out and out laughter!! Thanks for that! Love and prayers....
ReplyDeletethanks and glad to provide some unintended laughs in this war with cancer ...
DeleteGood to hear you are feeling better! Keep the faith - we're sending healing energy and prayers.

Hi Patrick. I came upon your blog as a stage 1 non small cell adenocarcinoma victim. I had my upper right lobe removed and will get my first follow up ct scan in October. My nodule was found incidentally but I was devastated, none the less. I was a smoker for the past 25 years and do not feel I or an smoker, former or current, deserve lung cancer. Do I wish that I never smoked, absolutely. Would that have guaranteed no lung cancer diagnosis? No it wouldn't have, considering all of the never smokers who have been diagnosed. I have to tell you that I read your blog from beginning to your last entry and am inspired by you. You are a remarkable man and your wife has been blessed to have you as a husband. You have raised a beautiful daughter who is strong and loving and there for you in every way. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Keep on keeping on. May God bless you in every way. You are a good man.

ReplyDeleteAs a sign of gratitude for how my wife was saved from CANCER, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.

I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and he left the contact of the doctor who had the cure to cancer . I never imagined cancer. has a natural cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my wife will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my wife used it and in one months time she was fully okay even up till this moment she is so full of life. cancer. has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get the medication.

ReplyDeleteI'm 55-year-old from Korean, I was diagnosed with second-stage liver cancer following a scheduled examination to monitor liver cirrhosis. I had lost a lot of weight. A CT scan revealed three tumors; one in the center of my liver in damaged tissue and two in healthy portions of my liver. No chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment was prescribed due to my age, the number of liver tumors. One month following my diagnosis I began taking 12 (350 point) Salvestrol supplements per day, commensurate with my body weight. This comprised six Salvestrol Shield (350 point) capsules and six Salvestrol Gold (350 point) capsules, spread through the day by taking two of each capsule after each main meal. This level of Salvestrol supplementation (4,000 points per day) was maintained for four months. In addition, I began a program of breathing exercises, chi exercises, meditation, stretching and stress avoidance. Due to the variety of conditions that I suffered from, I received ongoing medical examinations. Eleven months after commencing Salvestrol supplementation But all invalid so I keep searching for a herbal cure online that how I came across a testimony appreciating Dr Itua on how he cured her HIV/Herpes, I contacted him through email he listed above, Dr Itua sent me his herbal medicine for cancer to drink for two weeks to cure I paid him for the delivering then I received my herbal medicine and drank it for two weeks and I was cured until now I'm all clear of cancer, I will advise you to contact Dr Itua Herbal Center On Email...drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com.
