I am going to write about my experiences as I go through chemotherapy and radiation treatment to get rid of some cancer.
Tennis Anyone?

It is time to get the ball rolling!
Been another minute since I have posted! Thought I would let everyone enjoy the Holiday Season with their families and stuff! Really though I just haven't had much going on to really post about! Sure, life has been going on as usual, but nothing really related to the cancer, ostomy, etc.. Then I went in for my latest PETscan and guess what? New stuff to talk about! lol! Sickness is a motivator of sorts I guess!Pelvic area is fine. Head and chest are fine, but the docs are telling me that there is, and I quote, "increased activity in the fundus and proximal body of the stomach, with maximum SUV of 7.3" In English please?! lol! First I have a small tennis ball sized tumor in my ass and now I have a Range Rover in my stomach causing earthquakes?!? What the hell is SUV? Bottom line is that they want to throw another camera into another orifice and check things out. Last time they did that the reviews weren't too good! Siskel and Ebert gave my ass 2 thumbs down when they saw it! Hopefully the stomach isn't going the same way! I say screw it, attach the bag to the side of my throat and the food will go straight from mouth to bag! Cut out the middle men in the equation! Their slacking on the job it seems anyways!Maybe because I worked them to death over the last 20 years! Being on the road sure didn't make for the perfect diet of wholesome goodness! Oh well. The scope is on March 14th. I'll keep you updated! New news on The UNDERCOVER business my Mom has started up! I use her covers practically everyday and it looks as though we are on our way to mass producing them for the ostomy public! It is sort of like a thin, cumberbund (is that spelled right?) that holds your bag close to your body. It just makes me feel better knowing it's staying in one place and not bouncing around! I can wear dress shirts tucked in if I want. Because to be honest, and you ALL know I am blatantly honest, I thought I was doomed to a wardrobe of X large t-shirts for the rest of my life! Well that is not the case! With the "undercover" I can wear whatever I want, whenever I want. My Mom kicks serious ass folks! What other person would go and design something from scratch to help their child? She's a hell of a lady. Love you Mom! See you at the convention in August, if not before! Talk to you guys later! I have a foundation guy coming over in a few minutes to take a look at my house. The ass is slipping on my abode as well I guess!
