Cancer update
Just got back from the Dr. (another hole in my vein) Pretty good news. My infected cells went from 64% 4 months ago to 24% in the last test (a month ago), so the pills are doing their job. Most blood count levels are near normal however it's suspected that the gleevec (the wonder drug) is causing me to be somewhat anemic so my platelett level is somewhere like a woman who just gave birth 2 days ago. I guess that explains why I still can't seem to jog very far or very fast and why I still get winded sometimes. Overall I feel pretty good for a 65 year old.

yeah, but aren't you like 42?
I'm glad it is still going in the right direction. Guess you better add Liver and Onions to the weekly dinner menu. Sorry Mom.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're not a 65 year old.
