Day2

The following four pictures were taken about three days after my surgery. Since then, I have had the staples removed. Tomorrow I will meet with the Clinical Trial Nurse to go over all the CYA clauses in the contract, on Tuesday I will meet with one of my oncologists/radiologists for the initial meeting and creation of a mask and hopefully by the end of that week I will begin my treatments.
In the meantime, I have met with a Doctor from Aptos who specializes in alternative medicines; I have met with a team from Dallas, Texas who provide alternative forms of treatment; I am having my records reviewed by a team of Doctors at UCSF for a consultation and second opinion; And I have ordered a three month supply of a cancer fighting drug from a lab out of Southern California that I will begin taking after my radiation treatment ends. I presently have about 10 to 12 Doctors that I am working with and whom I have all the respect for that is imaginable. These folks are just amazing. The amount of time they put into this is really mind boggling, and still they do it with such care and patience it would seem impossible - yet they manage -
So, the photos are not pretty, sorry about that, but they are real and so is cancer. I WILL BEAT IT THOUGH!

    Dear Lenny,

    All I can say is I wish I would look as good as you do with your new haircut and stitches. Heck...looks like a really cool tattoo to me. Think of the stories you will tell people later on how how you acquired this coolest of cool tattoos!

    I am so glad to hear that you have a great medical team on the medicine end. Know that you have a great "home team" here on our "Community of Lenny" end.

    Lotsa love to you, Nora, and Nate always.
    XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
