Quick health update: original plan was to do immunotherapy for one year, which would’ve ended with November’s infusion. Last month the oncologist told me I would be doing immunotherapy ‘indefinitely’. So, a little disappointing, but you just move on. Not everything in life has a beginning, middle and end.

All good 👍🏻.

Nestled between Delridge Ave. and 35th Ave. is a couple mile stretch of green space. This is a marshy, pond area created by a beaver. We saw a family of ducks as we walked along the trail, and an old power substation complete with a high wall and cameras surrounding it.

From my walk yesterday. Time to clear my mind.

Health update: Saw a doctor yesterday to discuss my condition and next steps. I see a new oncologist tomorrow as well as do an MRI. One more oncologist to see after tomorrow then the doctors huddle up and present my case to the Cancer Board that meets weekly. Right now things are leaning toward both radiation and chemotherapy. We’ll see how things shake out over the next couple of weeks.

All good 👍🏻💪🏻.

I’m almost sure this is Sunset Beach, on the Olympic Peninsula coastline. It was taken a few years ago.

Health update: I have a CT needle biopsy this Thursday morning.

Good juju welcome! 🙏🏻.

Be well.

Update-

6 June 2024:

Pathology report came back positive for cancer. I’ll meet with doctors on the 19th and 20th to discuss next steps. Disappointing, but not surprising. This is the third chapter in my cancer journey, which initially started back in early 2019.

On my walk a few minutes ago. A cloudless sky in Seattle- who would’ve thought?

Note: health update coming next week. I’ve seen one of three doctors, after my last CT on the 8th. Two more still need to weigh in. Based on what the first oncologist said, I have a sense of where things are going. It’s a mixed blessing/bag. All good.

This journey started in 2018, with the first CT scan. It’s just the nature of ‘c’.

Blessings 🙏🏻
