Patrick Foltz: Week 17

Week 17 - Thursday

Today was good. Met with both of my cancer doctors and discussed the results of my CT scan.

ALL IS CLEAR. The tumors no longer showed on the scan. I am officially in remission.

The rest of the discussion was on being on vacation in Florida. I had looked up cancer centers that are close to where we stay and Dr. Herman picked one and will make arrangements for me to see a doctor while in Florida. They will have all of my records and will understand my concerns. I need to see a doctor on a monthly basis to ensure that I don't acquire infections or any other complications while in recovery.

I will work on feeding myself as best I can, first with liquids and softened foods and then hopefully with foods that are more solid. I have no idea how long this will take me, but I will be working on it. I want to get so that I do not have to use the feeding tube and formula.

Anyhow - today is a call for celebration with my treatment.

Thanking each and everyone of you for all of your moral and spiritual support!!

- Pat

Additional Info

I am retired since 2008 from the State of Michigan where I most recently worked for the Department of Information Technology doing project management. My first career was with Oldsmobile working in the Body Design Department, Systems Engineer, Computer Graphics Design and then was transitioned to Electronic Data Systems when GM purchased Ross Perot’s company in 1985. I worked for GM and EDS for over 27 years.

Since retirement Carol and I have become snowbirds – spending four months in the central Florida area from late December to May. We enjoy entertaining guests and family when we are in Florida. Also play golf a couple of times a week and visit the ‘sights’ in the Orlando area.

My friends call me a computer ‘nerd’ and call on me to solve their computer and network problems.

I enjoy traveling – visited New Zealand for a month traveling most of both South and North Islands, two years ago spent two months in Arizona and travel most of Michigan. I also enjoy golf, fishing, painting and music.
