Face rash?

Sexy.

I hear it's all the rage in the inner jungles of Myanmar.

praying for both of you

Open MRI have come a long way. But they lack the detail given by closed MR's.

I can't believe they didn't offer to give you some mild sedation, Sac.

The stuff they gave me, using dna from my colon tumor, is attacking the gunk it spewed into my bloodstream and the nurse said if it worked, I'd get a nasty rash. It will look like chicken pox and once it dries up, then it will attack my finger and toenail beds. Oh the joys of cancer...

I gave myself a mild sedative. I purposely didn't sleep but about two hours the night before. I did manage to solidly doze off for a while, but when that last hour kicked in I was in a little bit of a state. Turned into a mental versus physical game at that point. Kind of an interesting self introspection really.

It's okay. It's over and the real fun part is going over that shit with the doctors on Tuesday. I'm not sure what happens if that cancer shit got into the spinal cord. Not sure I really want to know actually.

Weird thing is, I feel absolutely fine. Don't feel any different than I did ten minutes to passing out and then going to the hospital finding out that I had a meatwad in the brain. I don't really know how a person dies from this shit, but I feel great right now like nothing is wrong. In fact, I'm going back to work tomorrow and looking at buying a long board this week to cruise on. With my terminal brain cancer.

It's pretty surreal.

Love your attitude !

Yeah, I've been told by 2 drs that the image quality isn't quite as good as closed. The MRI I had in june did show the last tumor, which was about the size of a Nickel. That was in an Open.

Loved the update man. You're inspiring, which is surprising given your crap takes on all things football.



I kid, I dig those too. Keep that positivity up...the world needs more.

Yes, and while I'm standing on his neck.

I can relate. Aside from the colon cancer making my lower abdomen hurt, the cancer wasn't what was bothering me. It's the side stuff from the chemo, the infection, the blood clot, and so on, that is miserable. As far as I can tell, my liver doesn't hurt. The side of my nose does hurt some from my rash, which looks like it did when I was 15 and ate too much pizza. Can't pop these, though! Nurse said leave them alone.

Hey, Sac. How are you doing? Updates?

Just sucked down my first dose of Temador (chemo pills) five minutes ago and they'll start microwaving my head tomorrow.

I planned on being somewhat cautionary on the first day of this bullshit and have taken the day (tomorrow) off from work.

Otherwise, I really haven't felt any different from before the seizure a month-ish ago that led to this bullshit. My head gets a little "swimmy" if I lay down or bend over quickly, but that's about it and I think that's probably a result of the brain surgery itself. (They put off my radiation therapy start for a couple of weeks as the doctor wanted the melon to heal a bit more.)

Oh, and all the parts for my new long board got here this past week and I put it together this weekend. (Although I did spend the first half of the Chiefs/Vikings game taking off my trucks and putting them back on correctly as I had them backwards initially.)

And I had a "sure thing" date this past week (amazing how the official Sac's "Make A Wish Foundation" thing can work on chicks, and I'm definitely not passing on cancer pity sex, though the doctor told me not to impregnate anyone once chemo starts as I might spawn some three eyed flipper babies), but I drank two bottles of wine and apparently alcohol and the anti-seizure medicine doesn't play nice with each other and I passed out on her.

Go figure...it's been that kind of month.

Oh, and this is what I ended up with on my long board choice:

Gold Coast 44" Standard Red Pintail:

Took it for the trial run after the Chiefs #1 Pick In the 2016 NFL Draft Paxton Lynch Victory over the Vikings. Pretty cool, although it's completely different than the standard skateboard with kicktail. I'm not exactly sure how I'm supposed to manuever over bumps and stuff in front of me...

I bet that board looks kickass.

Cancer pity sex? I thought that was a myth! Damn, I must really have no game. I can't even get any women to flash me.

Good to hear, Sac.

I had Temodar last year. Only side effect I experienced was some Nausea.

Did they make you a plastic mesh mask to stabilize your head for radiation?

I still have mine.
