Wednesday night,

"Calling Dr. Billy Ruben" That's the old interns' joke that my oncologist shared with us today.  The real news he was giving us was, though I'm slightly yellowed, my bilirubin is not out of range so we can continue with the Sutent.  One more week and then we get two weeks to recuperate. Then 4 on and then we can finally do a CT to see if this is worth it.  The skin problems continue their irritating migrations.

Something is wrong with my eye.  The oncologist and associated pharmacists don't think it has anything to do with Sutent, so I'm going back to the ophthalmologist who just saw me last December.

Now, would you like a divertissment or a divagation? Your choice. Here it is and it might make money in the right hands.

Picture a brightly colored T-shirt with large bold letters:

BIBER

This should be clearly legible across the room, but as you approach, as you reach the personal distance, within an arm's reach you will see in sober dark brown letters is:

Heinrich Ignaz Franz von, (1644-1704).
