We saw Arnold's oncologist today. After a stress test to make sure his heart is functioning normally, December 2 they will start him on a month-long protocol of four hormone shots a week. It doesn't work for many people but his doctor wanted to try this first because if it does work, it will completely destroy the cancer. If it doesn't work, he'll have to begin chemotherapy.
Side effects from the shots are fever and flu-like symptoms. I have a very good feeling about these shots, and I believe they are going to work for him and destroy the cancer.

Hey Mary Ann. I believe the hormones will work. I have a simple and good recipe for a chicken soup. Let me know if you want to try it.

That's a great way to believe! Holding you and your husband in prayer each day that the shots do their job.

My Bro got 5 extra years of life, because of the hormone treatments he had. It was amazing. He had a very agressive prostate cancer and was given 6 mos, before hormones.
They were female hormones, BTW. I pray the treatment gives your DH another 30 at least..
