Christian's Cancer Journey

  Just a quick update on the surgery details and sharing a few thoughts about my feelings this week. I also added an entertaining story at the end to lighten the mood. I appreciate all the thoughts and prayers. We will try to keep you all updated on how things are going after surgery. Love, Christian

  Just a quick update on my pre-op appointment, my genetic testing results, and some lovely chemo side effects. I hope everyone has a good weekend. I will check in with you again next week before the liver surgery. - Christian

 Hey Everyone, Just checking in to let you know that I had treatment number 9 this past Tuesday (9/7/21). Everything went well and it was as I say "uneventful". Dr. Paluri decided to decrease the dose of oxaliplatin by 20% this time since the neuropathy was very intense after my last treatment. I think that was a good call because I have had very little neuropathy or cold sensitivity with this treatment. Around Wednesday is when the fatigue set in and it lasted for a few days, but I am feeling about back to normal now.  Liver resection will be the next step and is planned for October 1. I have a pre-op appointment scheduled for Friday, September 24. If anything changes between now and then we will let everyone know.  As always, thank you all for the love, support and prayers.  -Christian
