Mr. Herlihy

Let’s break it all down…down…..down (think echo, here). I’m speaking to you right now from the bottom of a single, deep, oddly-misshapen taste bud from one side or the other of my tongue. The soft, shiny tissue looks innocent enough from this close proximity, but we all know there’s lightening waitin’ to be unleashed if [...] [...]


Thank You, Carlton Motorcars, Inc.

Wednesday of last week was the day we got to go back home from our tiring initial appointments and diagnostic testing at the Duke Clinic in Durham, NC. The plan was to go up there and meet with Dr. Dan George and Dr. Mike Morse to be evaluated for HD-IL2 therapy. We were able to [...] [...]

That is, for me, the exciting part. There aren’t any ghastly, life-changing or interesting medical situations to report. When [...] [...]


Hydration Station

I’m at the hydration station. I got to the John B. Amos Cancer Center at about 8 a.m. this morning to get several hours of liquids infused into my body in advance of the CT scan that I’ll have at The Medical Center tomorrow. I’m listening to Bat for Lashes, a band that my son [...] [...]
