Some Midnight Truths

I need to clarify that this last tumor was identified by the pathologist as metastatic (mets) osteosarcoma. It is a spread of the osteosarcoma. I may have mets in my left lung, too.

That is one reason I am trying to charge toward the next level of treatment should it be chemotherapy or whatever.

I don't know what my sarcoma doctor will recommend. For some reason he wants me to heal and then deal with the next stages.

The tumor and tissue removal was complete and successful, but there is always the microscopic level of the disease.

Sarcomas travel though the blood stream.

Because this is a long battle I sometimes I feel like the "not-dead-yet" man ( from Monty Python and the Holy Grail ). The scene is during the days of the black plague. Someone is calling "throw out your dead" and bodies are coming out of windows onto a wagon. One fellow claims he is not dead, yet.

Fortunately there is much to be done and I came going to do those things as long as it makes sense to me.

Oh and I put on 5 lbs from pre-op to today. Time to walk more.
