Bad news
SimplyRed started a thread about me not long ago. I thought I'd start one with the latest. I got very bad news today. My colon cancer got into my liver and the doc said it is stage 4. She said it can't be cured. Without treatment, I might last 10 weeks. Even with chemo, the best I could hope for is maybe 3 years. I'm scheduled to have a port put in tomorrow, Tuesday, at 1 pm. They start me on 3 types of chemo on Thursday.

I know every cancer is different, but two guiding inspirations have continued to stay with me lifelong.

First is close to home, when I was 4 and my dad was 29, turning 30, he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. That's the 'good Hodgkin's' as lampooned by Larry David in the '00's, but was a death sentence, a bona fide no need to pack a full suitcase death sentence, in early 1976. Fortunately, my dad . . . . sorry, . . . my dad was diagnosed in mid-late 1976, when Dr. Miller was pioneering what is now a routine treatment for the condition. Today, he's puttering around Casa BL waiting for his dental bridge to come in at the dentist.

In more recent years, bald Bryan has been Adam Carolla's sidekick since he was on LA syndicated radio with Danny Bonaduce. Right around the time that they were leaving terrestrial radio, Bryan was diagnosed with an aggressive glioma, a brain tumor that, again, was an 'enjoy the next 3 months, they're your last' situation. That was 5-odd years ago, Bryan was among the first into a trial of a drug that, while it doesn't cure the cancer, arrests the growth of the tumor, which would have arrested his brain stem function and stopped his life long ago otherwise. We've gone through months of him slurring his rapport with Adam, and having to show up for broadcasts by taxi and using a cane, and it hasn't all been sunshine and roses. But it has been inspiring. And he recently completed a book tour that put a radio lackey on the top of the Time Best Seller list.

If you are one who fancies reading;

http://www.amazon.com/Shrinkage-Manh.../dp/1250039843

Shrinkage: Manhood, Marriage, and the Tumor That Tried to Kill Me, by Bryan Bishop.

And in the immortal seven words of Jimmy V, don't give up, . . don't ever give up.

The case of bald Bryan wasn't close family, but in some ways in the internet age, it was closer. You woke up with the news on the fledgling Carolla broadcast when Adam couldn't hardly speak about news he'd received the evening before. A man whose livelihood he'd subsumed in his move to the internet was on the brink of death with a new bride.

As recovery progressed, Bryan bravely came in and shared his life, warts and all. You shared entertainment time with a guy who was dealing with mortality and the physical effects of being drugged in near real-time. Over months you noticed subtle improvement, clearer speech, snappier jokes. Intermittently, you learned with Bryan as the physician's prognosis improved.

Bryan has not only survived, but watched Robert Schimmel, Greg Giraldo, and now Robin Williams walked through the doors of 'The Pirate Ship' as he journeyed on.

Thoughts and prayers your way, Ed.

Sounds like you have some Viking blood in you so fight this to its bitter end (not yours). Like someone has already said, people beat the odds all the time.

I slept well, didn't tear the pump out in my sleep, don't feel sick, and am about to have breakfast once my yogurt gets warmer (cold is affecting me now, and I like cold, dammit), and then I'll take some anti-nausea meds for good measure. I haven't raaaalfed since Karneval in Denmark in 2008 and want that streak to keep going. Of course, if the streak does end, at least this time there will be no horseradish mustard shooting out my nose. That is an... intense... memory!

I'm not giving up on you, Ed.

We'll help you fight this any way we can. That's the thing about CP - we are a HUGE dysfunctional Family, but we're here to help when you need us.

Keep fighting, Brother!

When my dad first started chemo he found that the first few days after they took him off the "baby bottle" were the worst for nausea. The docs always just told him keep taking the nausea pills during that time. If you wait till the nausea hits it's too late and harder to control.

That's good, because for another 7 days, I am not supposed to lift over 5 lbs. or strain my upper body, so I wouldn't be able to smite you to confound your advances!

Yes, I am considering the anti-nausea meds my new vitamins. Take them every day as directed!

I had a gallon left so I ran over and poured it down the grate. The man was very grateful and offered me a beer, but it was Milwaukee's Beast Light so I declined. Life was too short for cheap beer, I told him.
This really made me chuckle. Good memories are kinda what its all about. Keep up the good fight.

Be careful. Wife took those while she was pregnant and they plugged her up. And her prenatal vitamins had a stool softener.

No idea what you're on but the ones they give to preggos plugged her up.
