Very good news,,, that will give you the strength you'll be needing.

Just finished up my first round of chemo in Baltimore - 2 days of infusions. They put a chemo port in my chest a week ago so they can put the stuff directly into a big artery in my chest. So much better that having to fool with the veins in my arms, which have gotten pretty tired out from all the poking. So far so good, not immediate reaction to the many bags of jungle juice they infused into my body. The stent they put in is working well and I can eat most simple food again and have gained a few pounds - not hungry all the time and have a little more energy, which is huge.

getting great support from family and friends which is keeping my spirit good. Thanks to all the peeps here! It all helps and adds together!

Glad to hear.

Very* good news, John

That's great, I hope you keep up the good spirits.

good news john !

Glad to hear the good news.

Glad to know you're feeling a little better. Hang in there! Let us know if there's anything you need from us.

Many thanks to everyone for your support and prayers! Woke up this am with no nausea and no pain for the first time in weeks. Blessed releif!

Those who rray, keep on praying, those who don't keep me in mind when you are fragging endless mobs - 'cause that's what my chemo does - plays serious sam against the cancer cells. Take that you a**holes!

Back to Balt today for round 2 of chemo tomorrow am.

You're in my daily prayers, John .

Thanks to all. Back from my second go round in Balt. Round 2 knocked me on my ass for a couple of days, but a little better now. Bye Bye hair and beard, at least we know it is working.

Now in week 3 of 8 week chemo regime. Gonna be a long haul..

Thanks to those who are praying and thanks to those that are fragging the little mf cancer cells in VR for me!

No need to shave. Sounds like a bonus to me

Hang in there buddy. You need to hang around long enough to see Trump lose in 2020

Well, my adventure continues - got a secondary infection in my legs - cellulitis - that put me in the hospital for 3 nights on IV antibiotics. Got home yesterday and I'm feeling a whole lot better now. Met a local oncologist who I will consult with. The full-bore 12 gauge chemo like I had isn't going to happen again. My body just can't tolerate it.
