Actually, the the good news is also the bad news.

My treatment team has gone over the very invasive physical I had in November &
agree with my regular Dr. that the cancer was not there then, that's the good
news.

The bad is that for it to have grown this fast, it is of a very aggressive
nature.

The chemo & radiation therapy is shrinking it however & they are waiting to
see how much before surgery.

On the lighter side, I'm a big hit with the nurses. the head nurse gets some
kind of kick out of me being tattooed. She always makes sure everyone has had a
look, especially at the one on my unit. I don't mind, but sadly can't even get a
wiggle out of him during these viewings.

They've had to come up with a special pen to draw the little targets needed to
aim their ray gun as the radiologist can't make out the regular markings because
of my illustrated bod.

I can't ever sleep more than a hour at a time, & am plagued with either
drugging dreams or dreams of my 1st wife. Both of which are extremely
unsettling.

I dread these weekly sessions, but if they give me a chance I'll tough it out.
