It's a win-win situation!

What does a tanguero who is trying to learn Spanish and gets treated for cancer do before his appointment? That's right, he picks up the La radioterapia y usted and starts singing it to the tune of La Cumparsita :)

Anyway, all 35Gy are now in, no treatments to endure for a month! After that - another scan. If the therapy worked, that would mean a couple more treatment-free months. If it didn't, that would mean I have a "measurable disease" and therefore, am eligible for clinical trials. Either way, it's a win-win situation!

Seven Grays, so far so good

Had my first SBRT appointment, seven Grays, so far so good.
Getting ready for the milonga at NETA tonight

Venceremos

Grand total five tumors removed
Three major surgeries and two minor ones
Three long chemoradiation treatments
Two systemic chemotherapies, which caused numbness in fingers and toes and hair loss
One life that made a complete change
Lots of small stuff like staph infection, blood transfusion, etc.
These fucking tumors keep coming!

But we shall overcome. Moar radiation will kill it. It should, so it will, right?


Hey Romale, no pasarán
Hey Chavale, Non, rien de rien
Hey, venceremos, все равно мы победим!
