Fri Jul 6, 2018, 02:47 PM

Jul 2018

First esophageal, now bone and liver. Two almost three years of fighting. No longer on a curative track, now palliative. Chemo every other week. Massive cannabis regime.
The docs deliberately broke my femur so it would withstand radiation. (Pain). ,13 weeks ago. Im dancing now. No pain. Gaining weight. PET scan in a month. Then we will find out the growth rate, if any.
No matter, I am tending to what I can and seeing as much live music as humanly possible. (I am at a festival right now). But I know it is over sooner than later for me. The big bitch is the SCOCA overturned the CA assisted suicide law. Theres going to be a time for me. Not now, or next week, but its coming.
