The kancer I have creates mutant protein molecules that gum up the works inside my body -- mostly by attacking various organs, including the kidneys, the liver and the heart. Over time, these proteins will make those organs fail. The kemo keeps these proteins at bay, slowing down their onslaught. I have to visit my kidney doctor and my kardiologist regularly to make sure damage has not begun.
Tuesday, I visited my kidney doctor. He was very pleased on the excellent progress I’ve been making with my kemo. Yeah! Apparently, there is still no damage to my kidneys. Another sign that we caught the kancer early. I recently had an echocardiogram showing there is no damage to my heart. Yeah, again!
Kancer is still sucky, but I guess it’s fair to say I’m in about as good a position as I can be in given the circumstances.

Brother, people react to other people’s cancer in different ways.
Most people do not know what to do or what to say because
cancer scares them or it is new to them. Of course it scares me
because you are my brother, my younger brother, and cancer
is new to me. I think about you often and share your life with
people about how amazing you are. I know you are
intelligent and a strong person so suffice to say, I am here if
you need me. Michael
Oh! For your birthday we can go to any restaurant that the
food does not disgust you. Namaste.
