. . . with radiation treatment. Can’t say that I’m gonna miss it much. Yep, that’s me in the photo doing my best Hannibal Lector impersonation as they position me for nuking. Needless to say, I found just about everything associated with this process distasteful.Next up is a two- to four-week break and then the resumption of chemotherapy in one form or another. None of the medical doctors have contributed anything of interest in this regard, so once again, just like a year ago, the most current, accurate, and compelling information along these lines is being collected on my behalf by a real estate broker (Cecily). Go figure. Oh well, it may be an unusual journey I’m on, but a journey nonetheless.
Some of you have mentioned that my journey is an inspiration. While I am certainly pleased if others have found motivational value in my story, I continue to be inspired by a number of individuals I meet on an almost daily basis, ranging from patients to nurses. It seems as though there is always somebody whose story trumps all others. And just when you think you’ve heard it all, you can always consider the trials and tribulations of quadriplegic orphans in Bangladesh. It doesn’t get much worse than that and makes my journey sound like that of an emperor. And who does the worst of the worst in Bangladesh turn to for solace? My guess is that they may be blessed with a positive countenance of which you and I can only imagine . . .

Looks almost like one of those hairnets food workers have to wear...Guess they wanted to protect your "do." Seriously, glad this session of radiation treatments is behind you as you (and Cecily) continue to be an inspiration to all who follow your journey. Much love to you both!!
Pablo,
Once again you have reminded me, that I shouldn't take anyone in my life for granted. Especially friendships. Sometimes we get carried away in life that we lose sight for a second of what's precious to us. :)
Thanks again. Well I have to go now, I am having an old friend for dinner ha ha :)
XOXO

It was great to see you and Cecily last week. I'm happy that you are finding inspiration and strength from those around you. It seems your positivity shines brighter as time goes on, no matter what the future holds. I'm glad Cec is brewing up a concoction that will take over for the rads. We love and admire you both... K&T
Hi Paul and Cicely,
I wanted to tell you about a cancer treatment that helped my uncle who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer about 2 years ago, and after surgeries and other treatment the doctors said they couldn't do anything else and basically sent him home with a prognosis of a few months to live. He was on a colostomy bag and a catheter for urine. He started taking an herbal supplement that he got from Canada, and now he is cancer free, looking and feeling perfectly well. My boyfriend also has a friend that experienced the same complete remission from multiple brain tumors by taking the same supplement. It's called Essiac. and below are a few sources for where to get it. I don't know if you've heard of it before, but thought you'd want to know.
I continue to read your blog and pray for your recovery. Thank you for sharing your journey with everyone.
