        • Hey Gang. Scheduling got out of sync a bit. S/K is now the 26th. PET scan is the 30th. Shouldn't make a difference. I'm anxious to really get this over with.

            I'll bet you are.

            I took you on my 30-mile bike ride Saturday morning, Mark. You may not have known you were along for the ride, but thanks for your company.

            • Thinking about you here, dude. As you said, the push-back shouldn't be too much of a big deal. Hopefully you are regaining your strength after the last bout. Looking forward to hearing from you about your appointment on Thursday,

                Your welcome. I hope it was at least a two-seater. I'd like to preserve all my remaining parts, not to mention my dignity. A bell to ring would've been fun too. So much for dignity.

                        • Somehow I had a feeling you guys would do that . I think the one that finishes first should be dubbed Lord of the Rings . I wouldn't make last place be Frodo though. It just sucks to be Frodo. I'm off to S/K today where I believe they'll schedule making me look like Gollum for a while. I'll let you know what I find out.
                          Happy Ringing,

                            • Possible Reprieve.
                              May not need HD Chemo and Stem
                              Need to get Motzer slides of Primary Tumor to make sure there are no non-seminoma constituents.
                              Send him PET scan results from Monday's apt.
                              Get another CT in ~ 3 1/2 weeks.
                              See a Dr. Baynes (Surgeon) to rule out surgery - not likely.
                              See Motzer again to review and set up surveillence schedule.
                              Start to grow hair again and party with all of you.

                              Here's hoping to meet you all soon,
