I am doing a little better than about two month ago, which was really a lousy bottom (could not go up the stair, but one step at a time, now I am back to doing limited exercises, and even going up two steps at a time.) This however is mostly due to the 9 months or so of continuous chemo therapy.
As far as the lesions, I have held these in check for almost ten months (and counting), but until I get another CT scan I won't know (and frankly, some friends in the industry tell me that even if the cancer cells have been dead for some time, they take so long to get reabsorbed that they show on the CT scans for a long time. One of my lung surgeons friends tells me of an occasion where he went in to take out a 7 cm lesion, and when it came back from pathology, they could not find a single cancer cell.
The next imaging will not include a brain MRI, since the brain has been clean of any lesion since the middle of March.
So right now, touch wood, I am quite fatigued and exhausted, but mostly due to Chemo. My weight has been stable for more than five months, also a pretty good sign. The prayers of many people on this thread and elsewhere, must have contributed mightily to what seems,so far, to be a successful struggle.
Of course, I cannot trade continuousely (thus my missing an exit opportunity on AAPL earlier on), since I still get exhausted and in need on intraday rest.
