Hello , Howdy, and Happy New Year.

Wow, the holidays went by fast. Heck even just turned 44 to add a birthday in there also. I don't know where the time goes, but sometimes it flies.

Well, I have just moved on to another combination of drugs for the cancer. They have added my original drug ( the one that gives me the tingling and numbness in my hand and feet) to the drug I was just taking before my break. The two make for quite a combination and blasts me pretty good. I can't drink anything but room temperature fluids, anything cold is painful to swallow. I did that for the last two treatments and I will be doing them for the next four treatments. Yuk, but good news is that my latest PETscan showed a reduction in most of the tumors and an overall decrease in activity. Some increased, but most decreased.

On the forefront, Cheryl and I attended a grand opening of a new cancer treatment center who specialize in radiation therapy. This therapy is much more accurate than older radiation technology and we will be looking into that. I just need to make a consultation appointment to see if this would maybe be a fit for my situation. Also, I am playing phone tag with a man who cured his cancer using radio frequency technology. I have found similar machines as he used, but right now it would cost about $5000 to buy the machine. I am not sure it will work for me, but I am gathering more info on how it works.

That is the latest news, I hope everyone is enjoying the new year. I promise I won't wait so long to post next time, the holidays are what they are and now they are over. Time to get another mean on.

Thanks for reading and caring,
Jeff
