Spots and Chemo

Surgery is out. My catscan shows that I have two spots on my lungs, both of which are suspicious but are too small to biopsy. The RPLND surgery looked pretty rough, with a foot long incision across the belly and 6 weeks of recovery time. That operation may yet be in my future some months down the road, but because of the lung spots Im headed straight to chemotherapy. They avoid doing both at the same time because the chemo works by preventing cells from dividing, which also makes it tough to heal from surgery.

Chemo will be tough. I'll lose weight and hair, but it feels good to have a plan and it will all come back. I will most likely start on September 30th. Cycles are three weeks long and consist of five days of IV drip medication in the hospital followed by two weeks of recovery. I will be an outpatient through the whole process and will be staying at home during this time. People have asked how they can help, and I will probably need rides between home and the hospital. I will post the dates when I know them along with some information that people will need to understand before taking part. Thanks in advance.
