Back on chemo/Introduction to Answers to a Nephew's Questions

Well, no chemo didn't last long. On June 8, 2016, I started a second round of chemo, this time for at least six sessions every three weeks. The drug I am being given is Jevtana aka Cabazitaxel.  Like the last one I feel good for several days, then tired and 'stomachy' for about 5 days, and then gradually ok.  I have my second session tomorrow and I will also find out my new PSA number.  By early June it had risen from 12 to 84 and the tumors were evident along my peritoneal wall.  The facts, however, came with a new unsettling prognosis. The oncologist gave me 8-12 months to live. Yikes.  I sent the information out in an email to children, siblings, inlaws and many supportive friends and relatives.  I had, as I have repeatedly had, numerous expressions of support. Those expressions feel very good. One of my nephews wrote me a series of questions, very candid, that I will answer over the next few posts.  I urge you to read them as they give a good sense of where I am physically, but more, emotionally.
