Looks like I'm starting my radiotherapy on December 1st. I go in to have everything finalized to start the "zapping" on December 2nd. Not sure how long it will take for the side effects (tiredness, loss of hair, scalp redness, nausea) to set in. I'll finally have good excuses to take afternoon naps. SWEET!!!
Huge relief that they're able to get me in that quick. Had a session of "holy crap, this could very well kill me sooner than later" today. Lasted about an hour before I finally got those thoughts to go away. Can't let that stuff hang out too long. It will not happen!! Got so many more years to live and so many more rounds of golf to play. After all, I always told my brother Colin that the day will come that I will kick his butt on the golf course.
As the Vulcans say....Live long and Prosper.

Hey buddy,
Thanks for setting this blog up. Ally and I have been thinking of you and your family.
I love your attitude. It has always been what impressed me most about you. You are going to have to send me the diet info as it wouldn't hurt for this guy either.
Take care and keep up the fight!
