hey guys, I'm here  Been trolling mostly lol. I have three sessions in so far and nothing has really changed, which is not a bad thing and not unexpected, aside from a couple of areas with a lot of pain, particularly my right shoulder and arm. It's the waiting game now. As long as things aren't getting worse, we keep pumping in the treatment and wait for something positive to happen. Not ideal for an impatient guy like me lol. I'm hoping to get the arm pain under control so I can go back to my C12 project. Kinda tough to solder when you can't hold the iron! thanks for checking in with me |

Today was round 4 of treatment up in Boston. No definitive news yet on whether the treatments are working, but certain signs say that they are. It's the side effects and collateral consequences mostly that are difficult. For instance, my arm is broken because a tumor has eaten through the bone after not responding to radiation treatment. I'm going to to see a doc about that that this week. Then, they tell me they want to keep me 6 more hours today so they can give me a couple of blood transfusions. So, after a 15 hour day, I'm just getting home. Anyway, the highlight of my day was getting a call from Shannon telling me he is shipping my DIYU87 with a freshly reskinned vintage K87i capsule! The man is awesome, and I can't wait to hear it. I don't care what it takes, I'm mustering up the energy to shoot this puppy out when it comes in. It's my very first DIY build and I can't wait to hear Shannon's magic on the cap. That's all for now... |

Hey guys, treatment 5 tomorrow. Should have more answers as to the effectiveness soon. Still in lots of pain, not really working on projects. Just got out of hospital for fluid on the lungs/heart and couldn't breathe. Trying to find all the reasons why that would happen at this point. So frustrating. Thanks for the posi vibes.
