I'm back from "the City"...and still breathing

It is, by no means, a cure. The oncologist started me on a regimen that will have me being injected with a chemical designed to slow, if not halt, my cancer. I'll have an injection every six months with a break after 18 months. There are side effects, but nothing that can't be dealt with... it's not a cure, but I've bought myself some time. He says I should be able to continue this particular regimen for 8-9 years. By that point, there's hope that cure for my particular situation will be found, otherwise there are other treatments that can be done. Assuming I don't die of something else first! (haha)

The way I look at this, it's given me more time to complete the myriad of projects that seem to stack up on a daily basis. I'm grateful for that.
