Hey Riley,
Got the confirmation call this afternoon. Surgery on the 24th. Be there at 5:30, fasting, get prepped for surgery at 8 am and then rest hopefully with no complications for a bunch of days. Get final IL2 treatment in Edmonton on Wednesday but stop imiquimod lotion immediately.
Oddest sensation, while I haven't had the surgery/chemo yet but I feel like a winner just for having been considered as eligible for the treatment. If it works or not is out of my hands but at least I get to have it. Much better than having been turned down. I don't take rejection well let me tell ya!
I'd like to take the car with me. I need to hope for some decent weather to just do a few short drives beforehand too. I won't probably have much time to use it during seeding anyway and out of sight, out of mind, right? Plus I may not be mobile enough to undergo any high gee maneuvers anyway. If I can' I think take the car, leave with with Steve and then fly back to get it and drive it home................
Funny but as much as I'd rather be seeding or someone was seeding (gf, cousin), I'm also glad that I won't be devoting any brain time to thinking about it - I couldn't be seeding at the time I'm having surgery even if I wanted to be seeding. Makes it easy.
Wow, a week from now I may be on the road to regaining control of my life.
I like it most for what it gives me. That very simple and so desired feeling that I have hope in my life for a positive treatment outcome........................
Onward-ho!
Cheers,
Garry
