      A week or so ago I spent the day at MDA getting bloodwork, X-rays and CT scans. All are normal. 3b for 3+ years.

      I had a bad lymph node taken out in December 2008, then 20+ more a month later (all of those were negative). 1 month high dose INF, followed by 2K/day of curcumin, care about sun exposure, and lots of BBQ ribs and brisket. Sex, too.

      So… I remain grateful for every day I have on the green side of the grass.

      My doctors say that the treatments coming are much better than anything thus far. My secretary's MiL is stage 4 and her treatments have worked so far and with far fewer side effects than many of us have had. Hang in there, everyone.
