I've been busy
I had a PET/CT last thursday. This was for my new radiologist. He thinks he might be able to save me. He is gonna open me up and RFA some of the liver tumors. Then when I'm heeled he is going to Novalis the ones that aren't operable. Then he is going to ablate the tumors in my left lung and then Novalis the one in my right lung. That's the plan anyway. I haven't taken any chemo in two weeks and I feel great. No aches or pains and tons of energy. If I didn't know I had cancer I would even suspect anything. I went on a mountain trail hike with some friends last week. I was the first to the top and the first one down. Some folks didn't even finish. How is that possible?
Some of you guys might recall my small garden I bragged about last year. Well, I've upscaled this year. I've decided that I really enjoy growing things. I've started some aquaculture projects, that's growing fish. As for my photobioreactors, I can't seem to get my algae to grow like I want. I think I need some new tubing, but I'm still trying. I got a new boat and have been fishing some. The water here is still very cold for this time of year, I've caught a few but things should start popping off soon.
I've spent several hours everyday maneuvering to open a boat dealership but in the end I couldn't get the numbers to work in my favor. I decided yesterday not to open it.
I've haven't been reading any post so I'll have to go back when I get a chance and catch up.
I hope this post finds everyone in good spirits and agreeable health.

That is a true Warrior outlook....you never let the grass grow under your feet. If we do sit idly by and things slip away then find out that we have become NED or in remission then we find out that the time we wasted thinking we are going to not get better was wasted and it takes more of our precious time away. We have to proceed and procure as if we are going to live forever. Life goes on with or without us so we , as you do already, need to plan and work as if we'll live forever, for perhaps we will. Doing great bud, keep up the good work.....you are an inspiration to us....Love and Hope ......Buzz0 -

This sounds awesome, and it makes me wonder why my doctors or surgeons can't cut out SOME of the operable tumors, just to even let the liver regenerate alittle, and leave the inoperable ones for something else to come...but good luck with this, I hope it really does help, keep us posted!
Hugsss!
