Votrient is Working

Jill says I’m obsessed with my hair. That I talk about it every day. Sometimes several times a day. It is just so interesting to me, I guess, that I’m seeing such changes in my hair over such a short period of time. And, it is not only my hair that is doing some weird [...] [...]


Looks Like A Go

This morning I reported early for the 9:30 stress echo test. I had just sat down in the waiting room and plugged in my iPad and Matt Baum popped his head out of the door to the treatment area and called my name out like I was being introduced for a comedy roast. Mmiiikkeee Vvennabbllee! [...] [...]


Take It Easy On the Staff

I could not be more excited about our meeting with Dr. Dan George today. It is so nice to be in the presence of a super doc who doesn’t act like one. He is approachable, nice as hell and Jill says (and I have to admit) he’s a fine specimen of a man. We had [...] [...]

Anderson on the 4th floor of the Mays Clinic at 8:30 a.m. in the morning. This meeting is to get set up for a needle biopsy of the tumor in my [...] [...]


Cancer Flip Book

Thanks to good friend, David Fletcher, I just received 158 pages that chronicle my life with cancer. Jill and I, after consulting with our medical oncologist, Dr. Andrew Pippas, have decided to make the long trek out to Houston, Tex. for a consultation with their genitourinary team. I hope to be able to meet with [...] [...]


New News and We’re Houston Bound

We just returned to the office after our scan follow up with Dr. Pippas. As soon as he walked in and gave us that look, I knew it was on. I have another “lesion” to deal with, this time on the left adrenal gland, near the site of my total left nephrectomy in June of [...] [...]
