Well, I’m just about a week late from last week’s visit to Keefer’s office (Nancy’s Oncologist). Things are looking betta w/the #’s. Cancer….it’s always about the numbers. Like gambling….there’re always runnin’ numbers. And like cancer, numbers are also prone to be deadly and of course someone comes to kill you if you’re doin’ the illegal numbers for not paying up. Either way, if one thing doesn’t kill ya another will.

Sometimes I feel like I have this shroud hanging around of impending death. It’s just something that you sometimes have to come to terms with and try not to let it drive you insane. In my case of course I am at that point and have been ever since I was….probably 6yrs. old. I think it was because I really hated drinking milk and I did not develop correctly.

So, for the serious part….Nancy was quite pleased as were I and Keefer. He stated that this was the good part of being an Oncologist. Being able to see good results from the serious decisions that have to be made and feel confident of the success from those decisions. Very special people! Nancy has one of the best I believe. We always talk like family for a bit before the checkup. He’s into Taekwondo (along w/his son) and Nascar. One time on his birthday he went the Texas Motor Speedway and drove one of those autos. I have no idea on how long or how fast. I know he had to have had a ball. This dude has to be under a huge amount of stress and I know that Nancy oftentimes has real concerns for him and always tells him that. I mean….c’mon…..after 61/2yrs we are like family. We know everybody. Everybody knows us. We just don’t have family dinners or go on vacations together.

Ok, so just a quick update on Staci (Nancy’s daughter if you’ve neva been here before). HHHHmmmmm……she continues to struggle and has had to go back to doin’ this certain type of chemo drug that has some real harsh side effects. I know she was bummed (from what Nancy says) and I can’t say that I understand that but I do have an idea of how this goes. I won’t get too involved w/any details ‘cuz ya just neva know if someone is goin’ to get really bent about discussing their life in these types of settings. I did provide a link at one time to Staci’s blog so check it out sometime. She hasn’t been able to update it for the past 3months. Maybe I’ll see if she would like for me to play secretary and she can dictate to me what she would like to post. Imagine that……someone dictating to me!!!! Sounds absolutely ludicrous! But hey….that’s just the kinda guy I am.

Well….I’ve said enough for this time around. Hope I made some kinda sense to everyone….if not…well….that’s just me:)!

Mucho love,
Roger (Ironman)
