    Good Morning Vietnam! Hows my MRF extended Family? Im feeling pretty good, cant complain, side effects are at a low roar probably cuz im going on month of no Opdivo (stopped due to desease progression) i mean, i still have the Pituitary & Adrenal gland problem, but as far as the ol knee pains, etc. That all seems to be subsiding wich is nice for the time being..
    In case some of you missed my latest Report, Opdivo was stopped due to progression, mainly cuz the “big” tumor i have (in RLL of lung) is gettin bigger quick! 2.4cm to 5.4cm in like 3 or 4 months so, im to have a Surgery on the big sucker then go back to the Opdivo, all other tumors did in fact respond except the big guy..
    But anywho, im gunna watch my fight tonight at a local Irish Pub & watch my main man Mr.Connor McGregor knock out that Khabib cat, should be a breeze for Connor, havnt been out in awhile doing something fun in forever…love you guys & gals..

        Thanks Kelly! Had fun! Unfortunately my guy Connor dint win, he was out of shape being off for almost 2 years, he wasnt all “ripped” like he usually is..
        My drive home was terrible, feet kept cramping up from all the standing during the fights! Still had fun though & needed that time out!…;)
