Jim No Horse Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Del Rio...the pretty doctor is this Thursday...She will tell me what the new PET scan says...it is pretty definitive and shows if the cancer has spred or moved into other organs.

Jim No Horse Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 The pretty doctor said I still have 3 tumors in my right lung. Two of which have been there for over a year with no growth...those two are getting smaller. One more that was measured during my last Pet scan is also getting smaller. She said she believes my immune system is now actively fighting the cancer on its own. She says I am atypical meaning my white blood cells have always come back to normal within 2 days of my 17 chemo treatments. YEE Haw...She says I am without any Active Cancer in my lung for the first time in over two years. She says this is highly unusual...she was happy and smiling. She gave me a big hug and told me to avoid infections and close contact with people who could get me sick and see if my immune system could really continue to shrink these 3 tumors. Still she tells me I am Stage 4 terminal. This is not remission she told me but it feels like it to me. She is concerned with my lymph system and this cancer crossing to other organs. So this is great news.No active cancer in my lung after 2 1/2 years....I have said numerous prayers of thanks and I want to thank all the men and women on the Wire and beyond who have prayed for me and sent good wishes. You all are the best. I am one happy cowboy.Thanks to all....Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim No Horse Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Feeling great except for the lower legs every night or so....feels like fire ants when they start up....pain meds cover it up but I don't like using them in the quantities they suggest. Beats the heck out of the alternative. ..lol.... EOT was a hoot...lots of great shooters except me....shot 496 out of 600...I did get 8 clean stages...Still owe you a Root Beer...yeehaw....Heading to San Diego to see my granddaughter later in the summer...can't wait...she is a doll...and I love her so....Every time I had a Root Beer I thought of you....Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Jim, there used to be a vendor at EOT and Winter Range (and probably others), I think the name was Doc McGillicuddy (sp?). He sold sasparilla, which tastes like root beer, and other flavors. You bought a pretty blue bottle, which came in various shapes, with your drink in it. Then you bring that bottle back at that event or any future event and get it filled for $1. Heck of a deal, and it shore tasted good. Of course my bottle broke before I could take it to a second event. Haven't seen him in some years. I guess someone at EOT does similar with a mug now.

Jim No Horse Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Del Rio....Looks like I have missed your greeting twice. My apologies! My health has been good. Will be getting new PET scans in Sept which are the definitive look at measuring existing tumors and looking for new ones. Still taking 14 pills every morning and 10 every evening. Still fighting burning leg pain in both legs but it can be masked with pain meds. Dont like them but I take them depending on the level of pain. Apparently it is nerve damage from the chemo to both lower legs below the knee. Enough of that!! The great news is we are buying a new home that adjoins our little Casitas property on Bull Creek in west Austin. So I have been busy sorting through 23 years of collected stuff closets dressers etc. It is 4 bedrooms and four baths but the coolest thing is a shop 60 by 40 feet. Got all my reloading things moved in and one side has a 40 foot long work bench.....yeehaw....I can't believe how much space there is. My sweetie is over the moon for the house....I love my shop....life is good....we have been blessed by a loving God. Thank you all for your support......Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim No Horse Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Del Rio Pete....No unfortunately, I rescued no fair maidens. Dang! We were blessed with four days of mostly mild rain and one night of heavy gusting winds. Houston, the city I grew up in, is still a terrible sad mess. Say a prayer for all the people and animals impacted by both Harvey and Irma....the Carribean islands are tragic. a d texaz....I will be there. It was a flat out blast!!! The Texican Rangers could not have been kinder to me. People that know me are not that kind!! LOL....Just kidding!! See you there..... Things are going great. Up and dressed early every day. I can put socks on now by myself so I have graduated from slippers to work shoes.....yea...small victories!!! On the 26th I go to the Baylor Clinic for CT scans and to see my consulting oncologist. On the 28th I go to see my oncologist with the scans from Houston. So it is always a bit of a nail biter waiting for the results. They tell the real story. I am still here by the grace of God and the power of prayer. I thank everyone for your prayers....Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim No Horse Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I rescheduled my first appointment in Houston at the Baylor Clinic till October 10th. I am at the end of our move to our new home. Our first move in 23 years. Crazy busy or maybe I am using the move to avoid the facts. The scans are always worrisome for me. l will get scans that morning for my afternoon appointment. They will tell if the cancer is shrinking or spreading. Today I totally missed my appointment with the pretty doctor! Never even been late in over 30 appointments. All my fault...no excuses. She is now rescheduled for the 12th so I will have my scans from Houston for her to look at also. So I will get both oncologists opinions of my lung. The long and short of it is I guess I am just afraid. That is hard for me to say! Your thoughts and prayers aappreciated.....Jim . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Howdy Jim. I don't post a lot on this thread because I often lack words of comfort and such. But in reading all the post and your comments, I think its obvious the the Good Lord is walking with you thru all this. So keep the faith. I think there is a difference between anxieties and fear. You may be more overwhelmed with anxieties, more so than actual fear. Waiting for results of test, etc..... can create some awful feeling anxieties. A good many of us have experienced it in our lives. Try to keep your mind at ease. Many of your friends, personal and on this Wire, are riding this trail with you. God Bless. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim No Horse Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Widder....I thank you for posting. You could be right...just anxieties not fear so much. Some days it seems I am caught between the things of of this world and the place I am soon to be heading.

Jim No Horse Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Del Rio Pete...start planning for EOT...and we have to get Pit Bull out there this year also! Hoss to! This will be my fourth....god willing and the creek doesn't rise. I was told I would not live to make my first one so I plan on making my fourth and buying you that root beer in the stainless mug I owe you....Yeehaw.... My oncologist gave me two hugs today...a record for her....lol.... She reported that my three main tumors in my right lung were either shrinking or were not growing. Great news. She did see a couple of spots that she was unable to get a good read on. She is ordering PET scans which give her the ultimate resolution to determine what these sopts are. She is hoping the insurance company will approve the PET scans and scheduled me back in three weeks. The good doctor told me to continue enjoying myself and that I was one of her success stories. Happy... Happy...Happy...God bless you and yours....Jim Now back to cleaning up my shop in our new home.....Yeehaw. ..!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
