Hi everybody:

I hope everybody has been doing fine. I completely forgot about my cancer. Well, not really. The truth of the matter is, there’s not a day going by where I don’t think about either my renal cell carcinoma or my wife’s breast cancer. And that sucks big time. I don’t know if it’s the fear of recurrence, or just that lingering notion of  “hey, that could have been the end.” And there are the constant reminders that make sure that there is no possible way to put the whole thing behind you for a while – I’m talking about the freakin’ bills that still keep pouring in for some reason. You’d think that someone with a reasonable health insurance shouldn’t get hammered with too many of those, but I can assure you that this is not case. If you chose to make cancer your hobby, you’d better open your wallet all the way…J

I am scheduled on June 10th for a follow up exam, including the whole program (Cat Scan, X-Ray, etc.) My wife just had an Ultrasound and MRI done, both of which came back okay.

Other than that, we are still going back and forth with our bank. I did a ballsy thing in contacting the CEO of our mortgage company, explaining the ridiculousness of what was going on and it actually worked – the next day we were assigned with a designated person from their executive office, which since made our interactions with them much more reasonable and efficient.

 

Other than that, I’m feeling okay. Sometimes I get kind of weird pains. Actually, you can hardly call it pains, much more flashes of temporary discomfort. Little pinches on both sides underneath my chest.

I am still on my new schedule and I do like it. Going to bed early and get up early in the morning. I’m also trying to maintain a reasonably healthy lifestyle and get my workouts in on a regular basis.

Lastly, I am really happy that Kristy decided to get into the blogging saddle again. Welcome back, Kristy. And make sure that you visit her new blogging platform at

Okay, I hope you’re all doing well and I will talk to your later….
