I've never been much for sweets, but my tastes have changed recently. I could live on a diet of candy bars.

I'm the opposite. I use to eat so much sweets, now the though of eating dessert or candy is kind of gross to me.

I've complained a lot about life throughout the years, but looking back I realize I've had it better than most.

So, the CT scan is showing some kind of lesion on my liver. The oncologist says because of where it is it's possible that it could just be some funky blood vessels. It could also be more cancer. She doesn't seem too concerned about it. I'll be getting an MRI before my next appointment (Oct. 12) so we can figure it out. Everything else is clear.
Everything else being clear is great
- RAPatton
Oh, and the cancer in the lung/pleura is pretty much stable, which is good.
- Michael McKean
Hoping for nothing more than funky blood vessels for you. Glad the lung/pleura is stable!

Had chemo today. Went over results of CT and bone scans with oncologist. Details later.

Thanks!

I did finally give in and take a Vicodin, though. My back was all messed up from not moving all day.

Slept all day. Fever has been breaking without the aid of pills and my temp hasn't been above 101.8, so maybe it won't be so bad this time.

I don't care who won the Nobel Peace Prize. I don't care about your stupid political views. In the grand scheme of things none of it matters. 100 years from now you'll be dead, events will have been forgotten, things will still be pretty much the same, and not one single person will care. Cheer up, buttercup!
There are some on FF that will likely still be alive 100 years from now... they'll be telling their grandkids all about how Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize on Leif Erikson Day. :)

My brother will be here in the morning, another brother next Tuesday (I think) and my aunt the following week. I hope I stay well that long!

Physicists Measure Elusive 'Persistent Current' That Flows Forever - http://www.physorg.com/news174...
Oct 9, 2009
from
"Physicists at Yale University have made the first definitive measurements of "persistent current," a small but perpetual electric current that flows naturally through tiny rings of metal wire even without an external power source."
- Michael McKean
Woah: "The counterintuitive current is the result of a quantum mechanical effect that influences how electrons travel through metals, and arises from the same kind of motion that allows the electrons inside an atom to orbit the nucleus forever. "

New-Martyr Eugene Rodionov & Warrior for Christ - http://theinnerkingdom.wordpress.com/2009...

"Eugene Rodionov,19 years old, did not lose his faith despite horrible tortures “The Chechen captivity is the most horrid, the most inhuman and barbaric thing that can ever happen,” says Eugene’s mother. She had to survive hell to find her son, the body of her son, to be more precise. Eugene’s death coincided with his 19th birthday. Eugene’s mother, Lubov, was a little late: she was just seven kilometers far from the place of her son’s execution."
