Journal entry by Dennis Krupinski

As many of you know 2 years after my Kidney and tumor removal in 2018 the Cancer has Metastasized.   I have had evaluations and am on Chemotherapy.  I do believe my Oncology team is on the right path for me.  My biggest issue is that the Cancer Society statistics are not favorable.  I have spots on my Liver and both lungs and had a tumor on my left Parotid Gland that the Chemo is working on.  See this link: https://www.cancer.org/cancer/lung-cancer/detection-diagnosis-staging/staging-sclc.html

Soooo,  I will get an evaluation on April 8th with my Oncology team,  we will talk about more treatments and a new PET Scan at some point to see how much It has all shrunk.  I am handling the treatments well so far, not too much discomfort.  I want to say that my support team of friends and family is overwhelming.  It is so heart warming to know so many people care for me.  I care about each of you as well and wish you all the best of health and prosperity in your lives.  To be continued as I get more information.
