    Hi guys, happy Sunday to you all, next week is a busy one, Monday is Opdivo #19 , Tuesday my “head” doc, and Friday is my colon and Endoscopy. Then, July 9thbis my CT Guided biopsy to my right butt cheek, something lit up there so, gotta do some “mining” on that then! July 11th im gettin that Mel Monster out of my left side of my stomach, its gotta go, its like my lil conjoined Twin thats pestering me haha…
    Anyways, trying my best to keep one foot in front of the other, sometimes it gets to be to much but, after a nights sleep, its usualy subsides….take care, love you all.

      Hello Mike. You are unbelievable strong. You are such an inspiration to all of us in this stage IV battle. Keep your faith and you will beat that ugly, shitty Monster.

      Hi Mike. You are definitely a true warrior and an awesome inspiration to so many, especially me. I have just completed my third Opdivo infusion following only two of the initial combined drug infusions. Your posts mean a lot. You were one of the first people who approached me when I first joined the group and I know I have a long way to go. Mike, you got this! They say things happen in threes so I hope that after July 11 th, it should be smooth sailing and you can enjoy rest of the summer besides, with July 4 th around the corner, it will all be over before you know it! Take one day at a time and remember that slow and steady wins the race!

      Hey Mike, we are always rooting for you!!!!! Big time! Holy moly, that is a lot of medical stuff on your plate in the next couple of weeks. I can imagine it feels like too much, but I know you can do it, just like you did the MRI! You do inspire the rest of us even if it is a role not necessarily you wanted to have in your life. Good luck on the surgeries, especially the Butt! As you said, just got to get through the day sometimes 🙂
