Hi all;
I have not posted much over the summer but I have periodically been checking in to see how you all were doing. I just wanted to share with you good news. My follow-up scans 6 months post liver resection we all clear!!!!! The only downside is I also had a bone density scan and it came back low, osteopenia, I will need to add a bi-phosphate to my regime.
No matter, I am thrilled to be feeling so fine but any words of wisdom in regard to the pros and cons of the various choices are welcome.
I had a fantastic summer racing my sailboats, and traveling a couple weeks in Europe. I watched my youngest start high school last week and now I am confident that I will get to see them both graduate even. --- back in 2004 I did not think that was going to be possible. Life is wonderful and I am greatful to all of you for helping to keep me sane and informed.
Take care

my laugh for the day sent by one of the grad students in my lab:
Subject: Truth in drink
As Ben Franklin said: In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom,
in Water there is bacteria.
In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated
that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we
would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) -
bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.
However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila,
rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a
purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.
Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = Health
Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water
and be full of shit.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information:
I'm doing it as a public service.
