“I wanna die when I’m a hundred. Laying in my bed with my dog. A cool southern breeze blowing into the bedroom window of my retirement cabin somewhere deep in the Ozarks. A good book or two laying beside me. The radio playing an old Hank Williams song.”

Progress
Yesterday, I had an MRI to see how things were going. It was the first MRI I’ve had since I began treatment about a month ago. I really hate MRI’s because they are BORING and LOUD. They take FOREVER. Its kind of like getting radiation, only it lasts longer, and I can’t taste or smell it.
Oh yeah, by the way, the MRI results came back……..CLEAR.
NO NEW CANCER GROWTH.
Video: Radiation Treatment
This is a video I took of my 9th radiation treatment at the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics.
GO for Launch
This experience is changing my entire outlook on life.
Next Steps
So I talked to my doctors in Iowa City today and we are a definite GO for starting Chemo and Radiation next Monday the 12th. Its funny, I’m not really scared of the Cancer, I’m scared of the Chemo.
Going Home
Sounds like I get to go home today. They shaved half my head off and I look like Frankenstein. Not too excited about that. Thanks for all the love and the visits.
The Start
so real quick…thank you to all my family and friends that have been there for me in the last few days and in the coming days following my brain surgery. the doctor is confident the tumor will come right out with no probs. Tomorrow is the big day, i love all of you and thanks so much for all the support. seriously, thank you.
