Treatments and More

Well, seeing how it has been over a month now since I typed anything here. Where to start?!?!? Well, October was a month of work, Clinical Trials, Visits with Dr. Heath, PET Scan, CT Scans and sleeping.
The days slipped away in a blurred haze of confusion and wonderment. With bills coming in from Karmanos, I had to address the issue of why they had not been redirected to the appropriate Study Pharmacom to pay and now these have been taken care of. More time spent on the phone getting my Health Insurance Provider to acknowledge why a bill for Dr. Fuerquer, Flower Hospital Cancer Center Radiology, was not paid, but the Bill for Jennifer was from March 2009. This was sent back for reprocessing, since the Representative realised that the mistake was on their end. Thankfully, I was able to keep myself focused and not loose my temper over this, since I've become a little more cynical towards Health Care and how screwed up it has become, but that is for another forum and not here.
The 2nd Clinical Trial that I started, I was fortunate enough to be able to continue into the 2nd Round, since the lesions had not grown that much and seemed to be stabilizing. PET Scan done, results looked good there, then another Infusion. CT Scan #2, results came back a little less then anticipated by me. The good news is that there is no New Leisons on my Lungs, YAY!!!! The bad news is the lesions have grown a little more, thus putting me in the 17% range and at 20% is when I would have been removed from the Study; so I decided to voluntarily remove myself from the Study since it wasn't showing positive progress.
I also readdressed the issue of me not having much control of urinating, so I tried the Condom Catheter, which was a good idea; but it just didn't work. Dr. Heath changed my Meds from Vesicare to Daetrol and this seems to be helping the control issue, except at night I'm still having some challenges with it and have been woke up with myself being flooded and the protection being loaded. More concentration on this will be given to prevention of flooding the towel that I sleep on and having to change my clothes in the middle of the night.
For now I am waiting to hear about the next Study and what I'll have to do in the way of Tests to get worked up and going with it.
