Sorry it's been a while guys, but there hasn't been much to tell until now. I had another CT scan last week and got the results from the oncologist yesterday,and the news was not what was hoped for. Whilst most of the spots have stabilized, a couple of areas have grown slightly. The oncologist was disappointed because after so much chemo he expected them all to have shrunk significantly. He also noted that my Lymph glands are a little swollen, which is not good. I'm also still bleeding a little internally and as a result my blood count is down at 9.2 (should be 12 - 13). It's not critical but leaves me feeling run down all the time. I had another chemo treatment yesterday, whith six more to go, presumably with another scan after that to determine what path we take next.

Maybe all those Aussie-released Joes used a toxic plastic or something! Whereas the ones that were released here for the US used a different plastic recipe. And we all know the Joes released in Colombia and Argentina have cocaine mixed in and...
I hope all those docs can find a way to fix you up.

Some people, when trying to avoid thinking about those things that cause them pain, turn to drink, or perhaps food, or drugs... I turn not to any of those... I collect action figures, turning my mind to the hunt, so that I might find a mote of peace... Over the years, I've found that alcoholism is much more socially acceptable by far.
Keep up the fight. Your positive attitude is an inspiration to me, I am sure to others as well.
