It's okay. Had chemo infusion a couple of days ago, but the last MRI showed some additional growth but it didn't seem as aggressive as a couple months ago, so maybe it's doing a little something. They want me to participate in a new radiation trial, but I'm not sure about that. It's been less than a year ago since the last time they nuked my melon and there are some red flags about nuking it again so soon after I guess.

With the type that I have there isn't a lot of options in terms of treatment. Talked to them about the small pox vaccinne/drip that just got FDA approval, but that's primarily for glio blastoma versus mine so they don't want me wrecking the bell curve - so to speak. And my cancer area is in a bad place. He's pretty sure that I'd die of small pox if we even did it.

I'm completely blind in my left field of vision in both eyes, although I can see just fine looking straight ahead and I do have periphrial vision to the right. Doc said the the good thing was that it probably wouldn't get any worse. (Real comedians those oncologists.)

Had to take myself off the road/behing the wheel due to the loss of vision and my ability to do hard core gaming is screwed. Watching sports is a bit of a pain in the ass too, but oh wells. Just got to watch the ball versus the whole screen.
