A visit with the “Warden”

I had my port flush, bloodwork and Dr. check up today. Here is how things went:

The port flushed beautifully. Just like a brand new commode from Home Depot :-)

The bloodwork and vitals were all fine. Allow me to dispel some myths. There are no blood markers or blood tests for lung cancer. When I say all is fine it means all the standard blood stuff (white cells, red cells etc.) are normal. I have however, put on 3 more pounds. My BMI (body mass index) is slowly creeping up. I know. Stop eating like a pig !

My meeting with Dr. S went well. We have set up my next scans for September 26th and doctor’s appointment for September 28th. Depending on how the scans look a determination will be made then as to whether we need to restart chemo or continue on my well deserved break. I know what I prefer.

Carpe Diem.

By the way……..

Zim was Zim. What else can I say ? Another great trip. When is the next Zim trip planned you ask ??? Soon ! It’s very exciting with the Center now up and running.

The Olympics were fantastic. I had an amazing time in London.

Birthday in Boca was excellent. I hung out with Bobba the Bear and made out like a bandit with regards presents. Saw lots of family as well.

Off to New York for Rosh Hashanah. Until then.

Carpe Diem.

56 from '56

Is that supposed to mean something ?

I’m having a great day here in Boca with my mom.

It’s great getting “older” because the alternative is not very appealing.

CARPE DIEM !

Olympics bound

I will be representing the Zimbabwe Navy in the synchronized submarine missile event. Ought to be a tight competition between us, the North Koreans and the Iranians. Keep an eye on that dark horse (submarine) from Syria.

I will be there from this Thursday for a week.

My check up

My port flush and check up went well. The blood work was fine and the protein in my urine is back to normal levels. The break from the Avastin has really helped the protein levels return to normal and given my kidneys a break. My blood pressure is good and my weight is “high” normal :-)

My next flush and check up is scheduled for August 29th and the next scan will be sometime in mid September. Hopefully, the condition of my “inside” matches the “outside”……………all ok !

Carpe Diem.

The Center

The Adrian Suskin Center for Zimkids is opening this weekend. This is such a proud moment for me. Thank you to all involved with this amazing project. Dennis, without your guidance and inspiration we would all be lost. Siabonga kakulu and tatenda.
