So, after 4 treatments of 3 days of chemo, we had the results yesterday of my fathers treatment.
The specialist said that everything they wanted to achieve with the treatment, has succeeded.
The living cancer cells that were seen, are all dead.

So now we go back into the control treatment and let's hope it stays away for a long period.

To make things clear, he can't be cured anymore, it is only a matter of winning time.

That's good news, Chester. I hope things keep going as smoothly as possible.

I never imagined this is where my first post would be after returning from my ban. But so seems to be the case.

One of my cousin brothers was diagnosed with bone cancer about 3 years ago. It was quite a shock because he was only 16 at the time, and of all our family members, I never thought a teenager would be the target of such a terrible disease.

He started chemo soon after, and it was apparently showing good results. He even showed up to a few social gatherings and seemed healthy to us. But internally, it was growing; from near his left knee initially to all over his body. Almost 20 chemo sessions later, he was told it was no longer helpful, and that he'd have to resort to pain management.

Sadly, we knew nothing about this until only a few days ago when his health REALLY deteriorated. Intense body pains and low bloody pressure intensified. His legs were already paralyzed and he was suffering from double vision for a few weeks. He was hospitalized again last night due to low blood pressure, but it was never to become normal again. He passed away last night, much to the shock of his parents as well as me. He was only 19.

I saw his body this morning, and I couldn't believe he was gone. Neither me nor anyone else gathered there. The grief and sadness was something I had experienced very early when my dad passed away. But it was something that I could never get used to. The only way I could console myself was to be believe that he won't have to suffer the pain anymore. I hope he's in a better place; be it in heaven, beside god, as ashes in the river or as a memory in our hearts. At least he's not in pain anymore.

My condolences Sheik. A young cousin of mine passed away a few years ago due to a stomach illness that wasn't treated properly and I know how you feel. It's so strange look someone so young and with so many future pass away.

And in some way this is kind of a leasson. At least that's the way I see it, live your life every day, no one will last forever and some angels have to go first.

I wish I could say something more but by se reason I can't articulate what I'm thinking. Our thoughts are with him, you and your family.

Stay strong man.

So, had another scare last week.
On last week Monday, he had his first checkup after the chemo's.
And yes, they saw something on the picture, on exactly the same place as last time.
So an appointement was made for last Thursday for a puncture to check if it indeed was a tumor.

Fortunatly, the puncture made clear that it was something else they saw. Something that will be solved with antibiotics.

Those weeks aren't good for the heart.

My condolences sheik.

Good news Ches

So, after 1.5 years, I think it is time for a status update:

Bad News:
Dad is still fighting his cancer, almost every 4-5 weeks with chemo. Unfortunately, the cancer is getting more and more resistant against the chemo so the doctors said that there is one last chemo composition they are gonna try, but if that doesn't work, it ain't looking good.
We'll know more within 2-3 months.


Good News:

This little girl is going to get a brother or a sister in July of this year:

Sterkte Ches! En toch gefeliciteerd met je nieuwe aanwinst over een paar maanden!
