The treatment is definitely worse that the disease i will say that. I am due for a CT scan in July I am hoping this will show further positive results. My health has stabilized , I am still continuing to work and well I still have hair !  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

You can beat this. Keeping busy keeping your mind off this is a good thing. Your doing all the right things. Best of luck.  |  IP: Logged Phil Blake Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 558 From: esperance western australia Registered: Nov 2003 posted 01-27-2010 05:04 AM                        well my fight with cancer has been made a bit easier, the specialist i was under is now comfortable to let me have chemo therapy at my local hospital under control of a new doctor . this will now mean i don't have to make 500 mile flights to the capital city every second Sunday and fly back 500 miles feeling sick as a dog every second Monday night. I can now just go home to my bed and wait it out. The biggest tip with fighting cancer is the treatment is worse than the problem . My latest scans showed no improvement which was dissappointing but is also showed nothing was getting worse. I think staying busy is the best way of staying mentally sound, the cinema a passion from a kid, kite flying and model aircraft flying keeps me very distracted from this curse.  |  IP: Logged Joshua Waaland Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: Cleveland, Ohio Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-27-2010 08:04 AM                     Keep fighting the good fight Phil! You will be in my prayers. I am into model airplane flying also. What kind of planes do you have? I am in the middle of building my first trainer and I've also had the RealFlight Gen 2 simulator for the past few years. Those helicopters are pretty difficult to master.  |  IP: Logged Alan Gouger Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 501 From: Bradenton, FL, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 01-27-2010 09:36 AM                        Phil stay strong and try to keep a positive mental outlook, you can beat this.

My colonoscopy two years ago detected a pre-cancerous growth. Monday went very smooth, although the cleansing agent "Halflitely" was pretty nausiating. I just zipped in that morning, they put me under and did the procedure, and an hour or so later I woke up enough to go home. Of course, I had to have a driver. They gave me a seven year break this time. Nothing out of the ordinary detected. I wish you the best! Just keep a good outlook.  |  IP: Logged Phil Blake Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 558 From: esperance western australia Registered: Nov 2003 posted 11-08-2010 06:33 AM                        Hi guys, not traveling so well here, my chemo has stopped being effective and they pulled me off the treatment. at this stage they have nothing to offer me so the cancer is coming back and i am now very sick. Last week i ran my last show, it nearly killed me, so i am now on sick leave but i don't think i will be ever returning back to the booth. It has been an interesting voyage the past 33 years, from carbons to xenons, from 2000' reels to 6000' reels and then to platters, and now into the digital era. It has also been really great trading info on here with you all. take care Phil  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 11-08-2010 12:38 PM                     Phil I am so sorry to hear that, I do hope you can keep trying to seek other treatments. I send you all my best wishes and hope you can report back soon with better news.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Even if you can't be in the booth though, please keep stopping by here so you can hear some of us bitching about being in the booth and all that comes with it. Please keep your spirits up.  |  IP: Logged Cameron Glendinning Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 845 From: West Ryde, Sydney, NSW Australia Registered: Dec 2005 posted 11-08-2010 02:32 PM                     Best Wishes Phil, I'm very sorry to hear your news .  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"
