my dad called today and asked how it was going.. i said , you can barely see the tumor,,, he was like "what , no way" ,, yep almost gone.. then he asked how i was feeling ,, "fantastic !!"
that was a great call ,, i felt super happy hearing him say , "so what you're doing is working ?" yes it is .............
i would have been 4 weeks into radiation, ,, i think if i was being radiated that conversation would have been way different.. maybe not ,,....
some one out there might be thinking,, this guy keeps talking about 'that tumor' ,,, when the tumor is NOT the "primary " cancer,, well yes that is correct,, but they were going to radiate the tumor in hopes to shrink it,, and cut my tonsils out, because they "MIGHT" have been the primary.. the doctor said his goal was to make the tumor smaller , get the cancer out.. i agree with that,,
my brother in law saw me yesterday, he said "where did it go?" ,, so i point to it,, right here ,, he said , " it was like a golfball,, just weeks ago !! ""
ok .......... enough tumor talk.........................
i had 4 days under 150 , last week .... 147.5 was the lowest ... that's why i took that pic at 150 ,, for a good reference ... when i was 18 in super shape i weighed 149...
i have lost much of my body fat ,, at this weight , i'm at 9%... this week i'm going to add more food , and get back on the bike, everyday ... all the weight i've lost was the crappy stuff i used to eat,,
lots of bagels, coffee, yogurt, apple sauce, rice, pasta , pizza , bread,, red bull. ice cream,,, .. i just need to force down more of this good stuff,, get up to 153 ..
i left a comedy show tonight,, i knew it was going to be a disaster ,, the first night of the NFL ,, chaaaaaaaaa,, and then read some douchebag at the bar , called the "owner" , who called the place , and had the comedy shut down , so douchey could hear the game ... and it was a smoking place , so i didn't need that air anyway ..
today was really nice , in many ways
another nice moment was knowing my dad was going to say to his wife,,, "he said the tumor is almost gone !!" and for the next 30 minutes , they'd be very happy about that
this is Esperanza,
super happy in the river, the year before she had to wear her supports
we'd go everyday , until it was too cold,,
she chased rocks, and the splash they made ,,
ok that's today's
Sweet Esperanza
