Keep the faith, von. We are all praying and hoping the best for you. I hope that we can share some guanciale and pitta bread in the future.

Any good signs from the doc though?

For now the price of Brukinsa has dropped, it's an omni blood cancer medication. My next script will be in tablet form one every 12 hours instead of two capsules every twelve hours.

I went to an extended family BBQ and Jays watch on Sunday. Had my first drink this year, espresso with maple liquor...it was delicious. Your'e not supposed to drink on Brukinsa. Verdura doesn't affect it so I'm an occasional puffer. Apart from that I'm getting better sleep, I can breathe through my nostrils again. Something I haven't been able to do in over a year.

Andy Whitfield (Spartacus:Blood and Sand) passed away 18 months after diagnosis, I'm now at 26 months.

You are a brave, tough sunna-ma-beech paesan! I think of you often and hope you get through this.

It's been about 10 years since my last of 3 bouts with CA and I'm still here...enjoying what life has to offer
Keep up the good fight...you got this

Wish you well.. know many people with WM that are now in remission

 

[Insidious Von]

I find this out now. One of my life's heroes doesn't have lymphoma, he has undifferentiated sarcoma, he has been in remission since 2016.

Doctor's direct orders.

I'm getting an unexpected phone call from my oncologist tomorrow. That would make me anxious but I have a good idea why she's calling. I'm going in for dental work next week, she's making sure I'm on antibiotics beforehand. Before I got afflicted with La Brutta Bestia, I had to just summon up the courage to visit the dentist, that's it.

You all know the hero I'm talking about: Tony Iommi.

Hang in there Bud. You have made it thus far. Best wishes.
