Chapter 5 MRI Scans & Hospital

Thought I'd share with you some of the MRI scans of my tumor. Instead of making an extensive blog this time I would like to be visual with you all. These images are of the tumor that was located in my frontal lobe of my brain on the right hand side.

- Scary MRI scan of my Tumor expanded over 5 days

The wonderful Epworth Hospital Richmond Melbourne,that saved my life. The Surgeons, Doctors, Nurses and other staff were wonderful to me over the time I was admitted in. The small acts of kindness they provided me was bespoke and sheer class of professionalism isn't noted in today's society as it should be. The long hours they delicate their life to save and help others is speechless.

2017- baby on the way and new career!

I seriously can't believe where has the time gone? Sometimes when you live in the moment you forget what the time is and things slip past you! My gosh it's been a long time writing a blog and can't believe it's coming to the end of 2017. So many incredible exciting things to share. My wife and I have announced we are having a baby boy! With the grace of God we are thrilled and can't wait to start this new chapter of our lives, just to think going back to the early days of chemotherapy and radiation oncology wouldn't think ever I would get this far, especially all the wonderful people for whom I have met along the way and many of them who have been on this journey with the same diagnosis who have passed away. I'm always thinking of them a raising a glass of scotch when I can to them. I miss them so much So can't believe its nearly the end of 2017, new beginnings on the approach. I can't wait to be a father, and be a good father to my little boy. M...

No treatment, long break and a great way to end the year

I haven't had any treatment since July. Wow and I feel awesome. My eyes have returned to normal good and my general health and well-being is beyond exception. I am on a long prolonge break from having any infusions to give my body some time to heal and harvest the trail drug. This means I can spend some time being an awesome regular human, or whatever that means? But its brillant! My eyes can have a break from being bonbarded and hassled with. I am also focused on loosing weight and getting fit again. In the last month I have been actively trying to find work and seek part time casual work to slowly get back into work. A transition really and amazing news this week manage to get a part time job as a Gardener. This will help me mentally and financially. What an amazing blessing. I am not receiving any ABT 414 drug, I still have to attend appointments, checkups, MRI scans and opthalmology appointments. This is a requirement from the Clinical Trial, however I dont mind. I get to h...

Lost in a wilderness of horrors

Last couple of nights have been really tough, not being able to sleep. Long being awake by a thousands thoughts running through my mind. Its now nearly October and I don't even know where I am in the fight. It's not like a broken arm, you know when you will be healed, this Cancer is so up in the air, not even at arms reach to take control. Recently, I was out of action with a 10 day flu, which is serious because it can lead to death and can quickly shut my body down because my immune system is defenceless at this time. It is so hard to find strength and motivation when the whole world keeps going, your still doing treatment, and having to cancel so many catch ups with friends due to sudden illness from chemotherapy reactions. I am not one to sit at home all day, I love driving, coffees, movies and hanging out with friends and family. I am currently on a new Infusion Clinical Trial, which is a all day Infusion, the staff are lovely and the hospital is excellent. I think I ha...
