Well, last week I had another CT scan to see how the nodules in my lungs are doing, and today I got the results. When my oncologist came in to see me, he seemed pleased with the results he saw. Now, keep in mind that this is someone who routinely tells people that they have six months left to live, so his definition of good news might not quite be the same that the rest of us have.
Basically, he told me that since September, the lesions in my lungs have grown slightly larger, but not by much and at a very slow rate. He also said that I should now be eligible to participate in a clinical trial for a cancer vaccine. He thinks that the IL 2 treatents I underwent this summer slowed down the disease, and hopefully this vaccine will deliver the knockout punch.
So hopefully by the time I turn 32 I should have this motherfucker kicked in the balls and down for the count. I've had enough of this thing inconveniencing my life.
But fuck it, dude. Tomorrow I'll be in Seattle, and the PacNW has been getting hammerred with snow.

I did a triple workout (run, lift, swim) and am soooo hungry for sushi right now! :)
You are my hero. Well, I love Lance but you are more important to me.
