How do I make my blog go viral ?

• 1. Put our pet dog, snake and bunny in a small cage and let them "duke it out".
• Let my wife bash me in the head with my new Macbook Pro.
• Post interesting and informative stuff (yea, right).

Scan day

Today was my PET/CT scan. Now, it's hurry up and wait. Not a very comfy feeling. Oh well !

If the scan is stable and no spread then my oncologist is going to give me 6 weeks off of chemo. It may not sound like a big deal but trust me, it is ! It's been over 3 1/2 years of constant treatment but at least I'm still here :)

We shall await the verdict.

A sucker is born everyday

If you are tired of reading the phone book or airline schedules then read a bit of my blog. It should make you sleepy in about 3 minutes and 42 seconds. Try it. Amazing :)

The cardiac doc visit

I had a good visit with the cardiac doctor who has been taking care of me since my MRSA infection back in 2009. It seems like my cardiac issues are under control and my meds will be cut in half again.

The low dosage of Crestor that he put me on has worked wonders on my cholesterol. Hopefully I will get the dosage cut at my next 6 month visit.

The basic idea is for me to get off as many meds as I can safely do. The chemo being the biggest prize.

Chemo 13 (Round 7)

Another fairly short and sweet visit to the "poisoning center". Just the way I like it. Everything is normal and stable. Now you know I'm referring to the blood work, vital signs etc. Right ?

On Wednesday I have my PET/CT scan scheduled and here is the deal. If the scans once again, show stable and no spread then I will be given 6 weeks off of all treatment. Even though it doesn't sound like much it means a hell of a lot to me. I need a good break because I have been getting treatment now for over 3 years. Essentially, I will skip a 3 week treatment. Never being satisfied enough, I'm trying to get even more time off. Typical bloody pilot !

My mid-life crisis

Yet another one !

I have joined the swelling ranks of lemmings that have bought a Mac. Yes indeed. I am now the proud owner of a MacBook Pro 13.3 inches.The inches referring to the screen size :) But honestly. Once you have had a Mac you never go back. I am selling my PC desktop and laptop and will now only have one computer. Any one wanna buy some PC's ?

I justified the purchase by telling myself it was a upcoming father's day gift from Diana and the nerdlings. So I guess a thank you is in order. At least it's slightly cheaper than a Harley or a Ferrari.

Fiver has joined the ranks

We have a new addition to the Suskin family. Fiver, a small black "lionhead" bunny has come to live at 5 Valley Gate Way. It was a gift from Michael to Robyn. Fiver has joined up with Nyoka (Michael's ball python) and Trechtobal Gomez (Max) to complete the Suskin farmyard !

Of course Max is still "top dog". When he was introduced to Nyoka he couldn't figure out what the hell it was. But he quickly figured out what Fiver was all about. In true Terrier form he just wants to chase Fiver all the time. We are not sure what he would do if he got a hold of her but we aren't about to find out anytime soon.

Quite a number of years ago we were at a petting zoo and the picture below fortold an interesting prophecy. Even better than Nostradamus could have done.

 That was then and this is now.

I have been remiss (a very naughty boy)

I am so far behind with my blog updates that I swear my head is going to explode. I will try and catch up over the next few days but it's going to be busy. Monday is chemo day, Tuesday is the appointment with the heart (cholesterol) doctor and Wednesday is scan day. I also need to check in with Dr. Sidransky about the complete gene sequence.
