You're back! Howz things?

The chemo failed. I have to go to the hospital again on the 27th to start a new regimen. The treatment is palliative though. The cancer is no longer curable -- scores of small tumors throughout the lungs, some in the pleura, six or seven in the lymph nodes and one on the heart. It's beginning to hurt now -- pains in the chest come and go kind of at random. I don't work much any more. The girls take care of everything for me.

I'm going to take some time soon to travel a bit with Angela. We're going to ride the Natchez Trace and the Blue Ridge trail on my M109. If time and health allow we will also take my mom on a driving trip to visit aunts and uncles around the US.

The doctor said I have maybe 6 months to a year. I said that's good news because by the time he sends his bill to collection I'll be gone. :^) All kidding aside, the reality is they don't have any idea how long I'll last.
