hey guys and gals, just wanted to let ya know that im home from boston and this round of radiation went ok. typical side effects are showing, nausea, loss of strength and hair loss on my arm, its kinda funny looking, took a shower this morning, well actually i just stood in the stream with the water as hot as i could get it and the hair on my forearm and wrist area fell right off, looks like a shaved my forearm :surprised:

prognosis from the doctos is that the tumor has shrunk by 1.9-2.0 mm, yay, so after another mri next week to check for additional shrinkage ill possibly have a surgery date, ill make sure its after the new year cause i dont wanna miss another holiday with my family and friends, but it really depends on the docs and how they feel about the seriousness of getting this thing outta me, so im real hopeful....

thanks again for everybody's well wishes and im feel like a heel just hanging around here sucking up pity but i really enjoy it here and i come here for support when im feeling down, i can only hope ive made the same impressions on you that you all have made on me. i have reserved a special place in my heart for all of you, god bless :love:

I bet the hair loss goes well with the stripper boots KC sent you. :laugh::laugh: Nice to hear you are doing better!:big_smile:

When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in the eternity before and after, the little space which I fill and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant and which know me not, I am frightened and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, why now rather than then. Who has put me here? By whose order and direction have this place and time been allotted to me? The eternal silence of these infinite spaces frightens me.
Blaise Pascal

Good to here everything went OK. The clean shaven look is in these days, so you'll just look hip:) Hope your recovery goes well and the bugger shrinks enough to move foward! We certainly don't mind you just hangin around, that's what it's all about. Take Care!

Glad to hear you are in good spirits and that all is a success so far. Stay strong and enjoy life.

A little discipline at the table and at the gym might help reduce that belly!
