You Sunk My Battleship


A whirlwind highlight video from my recent runaway blockbuster tour to chemo land. Your travel agent won't offer this 5 night stay.

ROUND 3


So today I met with my doctor. She is a funny little Chinese lady...short...broken English....poor eyesight. She walked right in and said "your tumors are not shrinking...however they are not growing either." She gave me the option of changing the chemo recipe to a less proven cocktail. She told me the formula I am on is the most potent and has the best success rate. We decided to stick it out for another two rounds and then do another scan. If nothing changes after another two rounds, then they may stop and try to perform surgery on the big tumor which is blocking the blood flow from my legs. As far as the lung tumors go, well.....we hope they have stopped growing because they are dead.
After meeting with my doctor at 9 a.m I tried to get a room so I could start my treatment, but all the beds were full. I hung out in Salt Lake with my parents for the day killing time and waiting for a room to open up. We went to lunch at the Red Iguana. The Tacos Don Ramone were the prefect last supper. We came back to the hospital to see if a room had opened up. Still nothing. We camped out in the lobby for three more hours until finally one of the nurses came out and told me a room was available. The bad new, is that it was too late to order any chemo so now I won't be home until Monday.
My new room (4522) has no cell phone coverage so you have to call 587-4522 to get a hold of me.
