In the meantime, I haven't heard back regarding my potential participation in the coming test treatment, but that doesn't mean anything one way or another yet. From what I recall, my initial option to do the test treatment combining IL2 and Radiation was a guessing game as to the timing (which is why I didn't do that test, and jumped right into IL2). We'll see what the decision is eventually, and in the meantime I have my next appt. for a scan scheduled to happen with Dr Curti at the end of November.
I've managed to drop a few pounds and a full pants size which is really a nice thing to see. Having cancer is one thing, but getting fat! The horror right? :) But I'm certainly not done yet, and while I may have slipped up a little last week... eep! I'm definitely not going to give up on the end goal of dropping the 50-60 lbs I put back on during the last year and a half.
Frankly I'm just relieved I've been able to keep it up - and since I wait out the morning's drug side effects, I've been "incident free" at the gym too :) I mean really could you imagine hitting the treadmill, and ummm well ... hitting the treadmill?
I've been selling off some guitar amps to fund a gear project which is turning out to be pretty fun, and I'm even thinking I might get a soldering iron so I can really ruin a preamp... lol I mean what prepares someone to modify a circuit path on a guitar preamp more than being a buyer for a mail order based musical gear retailer (well other than having a BA is Russian of course)?
Well here's to the coming months and such for good luck to all of us!
Later,
Doss
And here is a scan from my absolute FAVORITE trade show advertisement - this one was advertising accordions at Musik Messe!
