    Doing Disney with Stage 4 Cancer

    Welcome, Rob. I've never been on a cruise but I'm sure someone will come along to give you advice. I imagine they have wheelchairs you can rent for the duration of your vacation. Keep us posted. Prayers for all, Penny

    Doing Disney with Stage 4 Cancer

    Even tho this chemo is rough on me the oncologist wants to stay the course since it's working. I say Thank You, Lord! She also managed to get FDA approval for my compassionate use of a treatment that's still in trials but it's for genetic breast cancers (Veliparib). I'm also still thinking of...

    We just got back from our little Christmas vacation in Walt Disney World - it was beautiful! So glad we went. God blessed us with more wonderful memories. How is everyone? I start a new clinical trial today... - Penny :wishgoal:wishgoal

    Doing Disney with Stage 4 Cancer

    So let me see if I can explain my situation. The liver MRI from Wednesday the 13th of November doesn't seem to show "new" tumors but the tumor that was ablated has an area on its rim that may or may not be viable (live). So while the oncologist waits for another radiologist to read the scan I'm...

    Doing Disney with Stage 4 Cancer

    As a follow-up to the liver ablation, I'm having an MRI tomorrow to see what the burned tumors look like. If everything looks good and there's no new growth, I'll stay on my current chemo - TDM1. If not, my oncologist would like me to go on another clinical trial. So, I'm praying that God...

    Hi, DisDee, from a fellow native of South Jersey. I loved your post. Sounds like you all had a great time. I've always kind of wanted to do Discovery Cove. But the idea of squeezing into a wet suit - yeesh. :eek::eek: - Penny

    Doing Disney with Stage 4 Cancer

    ejayne2 - So sorry I saw your message this late. You're probably in Disney having a great time as I type this. The scooter is a great idea. You have to wait in line with it and then as you get a little closer usually a cast member will pull your group out of line and put you somewhere closer...

    Doing Disney with Stage 4 Cancer

    A radiofrequency ablation of the three tumors in my liver will be done tomorrow @12:30. It'll probably take about an hour and then I stay in recovery for @ 6 hours before they send me home. I will keep you posted thereafter. Again I ask for prayers. I place my health, my family, my medical team...

    Doing Disney with Stage 4 Cancer

    I just had an MRI of my liver this past Tuesday. 2 little tumors and 1 bigger one. Not as good as June but still better than back in March and about the same as this time last year. Looks like I'll be having another RFA (Radiofrequency Ablation) on those tumors then continue on with more chemo...

    Checking in. How is everyone? I have a scan on the 8th - please pray, pray, pray! I now have a wheelchair that's mine for as long as the insurance company pays the rental company. The last time we went to Disney we flew down and rented a wheelchair there. Does anyone have any experience...

    Doing Disney with Stage 4 Cancer

    Hi Ross0354. It looks like you've been given some good advice so I'm just posting to welcome you. It sounds like your husband and your small child will sort of be on the same schedule (needing naps) so that's good. Are you bringing a friend or another family member? That would be a great...

    Doing Disney with Stage 4 Cancer

    My most recent scan looks good. Only 1 remaining tumor and it's smaller than before. Doctor is thrilled and says to keep "storming the gates of Heaven" with our prayers. Thank You, Lord! Thank you Mother Mary and Blessed Zelie Martin and all the angels and saints! Love you all!

    Doing Disney with Stage 4 Cancer

    So I've made a decision to stop feeling anxious and put it in God's Hands. My recent bloodwork shows liver still functioning as it should. Thank You, Lord! I've made a decision that I can only have positive attitudes. Fear is of the devil. So, as far as the scan I have coming up on the 25th...

    Doing Disney with Stage 4 Cancer

    What state do you live in? Here in NJ, marijuana has been approved for terminally ill patients, but there are a lot of hoops to jump through. There's a state-monitored website that you have to register on, as does you doctor, and it costs each $200. Then it's $600 for a month supply. My...
