      Hi guys, sorry iv been outta the loop for a bit lately, feeling woozy and blah due to more Thyroid issues, my Endocrinologist up’d my dose (Livo)to 175mcg, its went up twice now in like 6 months, T4 seems to stay at o.8 to 1.0 and TSH is 14.59 a bit high (im Hypo)but no where near what it was when my Thyroid first took a crap after i started Keytruda last year in (Nov2017) wich was 45.9! I really felt that one, i was layed out..
      Anyways guys, thank you all for my well wishes & speedy recoverys for Mondays Surgery, someone asked “where” it will be at Kaiser in Panorama City, by a great Doc name Dr.Wael Yacoub, hes very cool & believes this is a good move for my treatment otherwise the 5.4cm Mel Monster is just gunna get bigger since its defying all immunal drugs, its Not a cure we both know, but it will only get bigger & grow outside the lung & even BIGGER problem can occure..I tell ya, im NERVOUS as hell but im going, i wanna get this bitch out of me..thanks for having my back and i plan to write you all once i wake up, im sure I’ll be in there for a few days..love ya guys.

                      Hi Jackie.

                      Good luck to your husband today!!!! My sons 6 month scans are also really 9 month scans. We are home now, scans were furstvthing this morning. So now we wait. The PA promised to call me as soon as they get the report. I’m sick to stomach but hanging in there. The waiting is one of the hardest things to get through.  I know everyone knows this feeling all too well. 

                      I will be thinking of you and your husband as well as Mike today!!!! I’m with you..fingers crossed it’s a good day for us all!!!!!! 

                      Kelly 🙂

                          You are going to rock it Mike!  We will be sending positive thoughts your way tomorrow, I know it's always anxious to go into surgery, but hoping they get the sucker out of there quick and you recover even quicker. We will be thinking about you tomorrow.
