Here I go again, one more mission impossible… got 10″ tumor growing behind my left kidney, a rare and aggressive sarcoma.
Plan is to radiate it, then remove tumor plus anything it’s touching (kidney, spleen, some intestine and vein). Have to radiate before removal because radiation too much for single kidney to survive.
The hits keep coming. Yet I’m still here.
At my 50th birthday poetry reading, Daniel Thompson introduced me by saying no one thought I’d live to 50 due to drinking 5+ gallons of white wine weekly. I’d ballooned to 280 pounds. 27 years later I’m 140 and 33 sober.
Need a couple more tests before they can estimate mortality odds, but my plan is simple — radiate, remove, recover.
I beat throat cancer 2005. Lady survived rare eye cancer 2017. Did lose our cat though to intestinal cancer 2016.
Cancer is what happens when civilizations piss upstream, then run back down to drink, which is what happens when corporations rule our roost.
(in CAT scan foto below, mass has pushed my left kidney out of its way)
