Can't eat

11. Unfortunately in my case I've had a lot of "interesting" developments

1) My cancer metastasized from my colon to my lungs (instead of my liver). That was unusual.
2) I developed "hostile bladder" from my original surgery. That was unsusual.
3) I developed chemo-induced diabetes from the steroids in the chemo - that was unusual.

There's more, but every time I turn around there's something "unusual".

I wish I was a boring patient.

However 6 years after my stage 3 diagnosis and 3 years after my stage 4 diagnosis, I'm still chugging along. It's just a long fight. I now know why obitiuaries often say so-and-so passed after a long battle with cancer. I'm still not making any plans 10 to 15 years out, but I think at this point I'll be around 3 years from now, if not 5.
