Back in Philly...

It's so weird to keep leaving and coming back here. Sometimes I feel like I never left while simultaneously feeling like I haven't been here in ages. I don't think I've seen the Taproom folks in quite some time now--maybe like 3 months or more. It must be my fate to have this curse of a mass of perpetually growing cells in my brain, though. Time just seems to slip away as my priorities keep changing. Enjoy it while you can, c'est la vie.

Pills, pills and...more pills?

I realized that it had been a while since I posted last, so I thought I should post as an ever living record of my newly won cancer indebtedness to pills, i.e. taking lots of 'em. My pill times are with meals, one in between lunch and dinner and once before bed. I've done some of the math, and it seems like I'm taking about 50 pills/day which is actually not that bad compared to some people I've heard about. This older man that I met while in Houston who was actually heading down the Antineoplaston route (by the way, his tumor was just reported to have shrunk 27% which is so great for him) had a pair of shelves just for his pills. He set timers for when to take them AND had his wife recording and administering the entirety of his therapy. Now I can see why Cancer's such a strong supporter of the American medical system. How else could you sell people secondary drugs to relieve them of symptoms resulting from primary drugs that fight off their cancer. Pure genius! Now we just have to figure out how to get them on tertiary drugs... I don't have to deal with all that though, all I have to do is remember to take the pills at the proper time during the day, and I've done my job. This version is SO much better than the Antineoplaston version. I'd have to have a buddy for that one, but we'll see how this goes.

Which reminds me, everything I've been doing for October and November comes to a head on November 30th with my MRI/Oncology appointment in Atlanta. I'm already nervous as Hell about it, and we haven't even had turkey yet. I'm starting to sweat as I type, so I'm going to avoid thinking about that as long as possible again. So as I was saying, life's fairly easy right now. Just take the pills. That's it.
