What?! Nothing to say?!

Saturday, November 23, 2013

I thought I'd have no medical news until
  1.  January and the PET scan, or,
  2. The tumors really kicked in.

But it’s neither.  It’s really good news: the further I get from the chemo the better I feel.  It is clearer and clearer that the cure really was worse than the disease.  I feel so much better, it’s like clamps have been taken off my mouth and brain, not to mention the other body parts.

I feel so much better off chemo, it’s going to be hard to get me back on it.  Even though there is a new drug for papillary renal cell carcinoma, Evrolimus, it would take some arm twisting to get me to try it. 

Anyway, the oncologist has said radiation is probably next anyway.   Personally I favor cryoablation, but I don’t know if that is allowed or possible.

So there’s the good news for a change. 
Here’s hoping winter brings you much bonum too.
Ciao,
