Well it's been six months since I was told I may only have six months to live without any treatment, and it's also my birthday. Feeling pretty good today. I think I'll be out climbing later and hopefully some dancing this weekend too :)
As far as an update goes, yesterday's results indicate yet another tie game between myself and the unwanted visiting team. The CT scan shows some shrinkage in a few of the nodules in my chest and there is a new one in my right femur. Hopefully it will be a while or never that they have to attach wheels to me. I am also taking an IV infusion of Zoledronic Acid now which builds up bones, so hopefully no breaks. This drug gave me interesting fevers for a few nights and was overall tolerable. One possible side effect of this drug however is that my jaw might fall off, which I imagine could be difficult for eating. I'll have to keep an eye on that.
My mental state and capacity has come a long way from six months ago. It's really amazing how the mind can form new connections and perspectives. You just have to be patient and give it time. Don't get me wrong though. Still some major funk to work through, and I'm just the person to do it.
Once again, thanks for checking in. Keep the good vibes coming.
