Prostate Cancer Update #6

I am about half way through treatment #6 and I am over the bad part. I took a sleeping pill last night so I had a good rest. April’s phone call woke me up around 11AM and said McKayla does not like baby food anymore. She said they went out for a pancake breakfast. That sounded good so Peggy went with me to IHOP. I had pancakes, 2 eggs, sausage, and hash-browns. I am so stuffed we came home to go back to bed. I think you can tell I am doing better. I want to pass on the following Christmas story from Ron Miller (the brother of Sherry Drygs), a friend who has cancer and treatments almost exactly like mine.

“Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas  decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever.Great stories. But two things made me take it down.

First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by.

Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn’t realize it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn’t take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard.”

Not sure when you posted update #6, but it must have been before Christmas. How are you doing now?
