Posted January 08, 1999

On Monday morning (1/11/99) I'll be having what will hopefully be my final surgery. As I've mentioned, my scans look clear of the tumour, and that's a good indication that the chemotherapy and radiation treatments have been successful. Also, just yesterday I got back the results of a few biopsies taken during a recent internal exam and they were all free of any cancer.

So I go into the hospital with all signs pointing towards a positive resolution of my condition. I'm definitely not looking forward to spending a week in the hospital (it's sooo tedious), but this could be the end of my ordeal and I need to invest all my energies towards that goal. With that in mind, I'm sure that you'll understand when I say that this will probably be my last post for awhile.

Once again, I have a good friend who'll be staying at my place to water the plants, etc. (Thanks, Buddy!), my best friend, Jim Johanson, will be updating the homepage with information on my progress, and Leslie Mixon will pass on this information directly to the discussion list. Wish me luck, folks! Be well and I'll talk to you all again soon.
