Well OK, I guess I could use a little mojo now ...

Maybe in the sense that I should set my guitar on fire, but I don't know if I'd go much beyond that! :-)

Thanks!

Dear Ex
I have not been here for awhile and was shocked to see your post. However, I believe if anyone can get through this it is you. I wish you everything good and hope they can find a treatment that is going to do the trick.
Just keep plucking that guitar and (easier said than done) please stay strong. All my best wishes, Diane

Diane, thanks ...
... for the well-wishes.

I just took Xalkori pill #1, so we'll see how that goes. I have to say it's a different state of mind jumping into a new treatment when you feel great, which I do. It was a little easier to wrap my mind around doing anything and everything back when I was diagnosed, because I had nasty symptoms and could perceive real problems.

Now I'm trying to push the brick wall back even though I can't quite see it. Different kettle of fish.

In any case, I'm pretty positive about this. As long as it doesn't take me off the road!
