Reality Check

I have been feeling very good for the last several weeks (ever since I got out of the hospital). Those good days had led me to forget the seriousness of my PC. I was brought back to reality this past Tuesday during my 2nd opinion at UC-Irvine Medical Center. Dr. Zell asked me if my oncologist had told me that my chemo regimen was palliative and not a cure. He was not trying to be mean, just being thorough. But it certainly brought me back down to earth.

Later in the week I has helping Martha do some Spring cleaning by starting to sort through some of my books. Of course the first shelf I came to had to do with hiking, kayaking, camping, cycling and racquetball. Just another reminder that my life has taken a different path than I had envisioned.
