Pretty wild. Felt like a warm barber shop towel going on and then it turned into the thing from Alien on John Hurt. Had my trial sonar run last Friday in prep for the nuking this afternoon and the first song that comes on was GNR's cover of "Knocking on Heaven's Door." Nurse nearly broke an ankle running to change the channel. I couldn't stop laughing. |

Keep whipping ass, and that skateboard looks awesome! What kind of bearings do you use, hell I have not skated in so long they may not even use bearing anymore.

And the real problem with brain cancer (and most organ cancers) is that they can't cut out the bad parts of a brain to make it go away completely. That being said, I had no illusions about living forever. We all end up going somehow, someway. I've had friends killed in car crashes, one cousin died at 13 from cystic fibrosis and another cousin just keeled over two days after this past Christmas from a massive heart attack and he was in perfect health - up to that point. I've also had two grandparents live to 98 and 99 and my reamaining grandma is still kicking just fine at 93. You just never know and just need to live life as well as you can, which I plan on continuing doing for as long as possible. Like I said, I don't feel any different so we'll just do what we can to keep that rolling, but I'm not going to flip out and start eating New Guinea tree bark in a false hope that it's going to miraculously save my life - because we all end up dead regardless.

The Reds are pretty damn fast on their own. In fact, I'm trying to figure out how to stop this son of a bitch since it goes from zero to a million in a hurry. |

Oh, and sweet ride! VERY sweet! Yeah, that takes me back a few years. I was always a Bennett Pro rider, but I think tracker won the battle... Between skate and surf boards, I needed work to keep up.. |

Yeah, when they first put the mask on, I didn't want them to take it off. The best part about the radiation is it doesn't take long. Like 15 min. I have radiation coming, I just don't know when yet.

The longest survival I've found with this is 15 years, and that is rare. I'd be thrilled with that. I'll be 45 friday. The fact that I'm in my 40s and not 60s or older helps a lot. Do you know if there is a cause to Neuronal? There is no known cause to Blastoma. Have they said anything about any clinical trials?

To both Sacc and Dave, I am glad to see you're not giving in and giving up. I've never been told since my initial prognosis of having 3 years left IF I was lucky that I am going to make it past that or that I will beat it. I don't really have much of a bucket list, but I encourage you both to do the things that you have yet to do and want to, because that is all part of living well and appreciating the good days we have as we fight cancer and endure horrid treatments.
I fully intend to go back to Denmark next year and make a side trip to Scotland, maybe staying at Loch Ness for 3 days and Edinburgh for 3 days before flying back to Aalborg. There are other places I want to visit before I go, including Ireland, Prague, Vienna, and England. I even have a theme name for my England trip: The Great Castle, Pub, and Countryside Tour. I'd start out in London, hit the pubs, see some of the sights, eat some fish and chips, kick over some "Sharia Law Here" signs, and head out to the Cotswolds and maybe make a day trip to Birmingham to see where some of my favorite musicians are from. If I never get to go to some of the aforementioned places, I still have fun researching things to see and do there and making plans in my head for the trips. With us and our possibly shorter than expected life spans, it is about quality of life and hopefully checking out with no regrets. That doesn't mean we have to fall into debauchery or hedonism, but we owe it to ourselves to live as well as we can. I am grateful for each and every good day I have, even good parts of days when things are not going so well. I also hope to do some good for people while I am here. People tell me that I inspire them, and I never imagined myself in such a role, and I still don't fully understand it, but I am glad to know that I am able to affect others in such a positive way. I am far, far from perfect but I do know that I am a better man now than I was before the cancer, and with continued prayers and support, I aim to keep it that way until I do take that last breath, whenever that may be. And as I have mentioned before, when that time comes, if I still have my faith in God, then I will have won. |
