Great news!
Good drugs and a positive attitude.
The right combination for sure.

Felt good enough to go in with Ruth and take a Bikram hot yoga class! First one in two months. I shocked myself an did every pose. did not sit out at all. Wow!
So who knows? Maybe the pill fits my bill? Feel the best I have felt in months.

I am so happy for you. I too love Bikram yoga and a brand new studio just opened by me and I can't wait to get back to it. Hopefully next week. I saw your pic of the toe stand...awesome...I haven't been to Bikram for over a month....and when consistent boy does it make a difference.
There you go, being my inspiration again!

Paul, I don't know you or Ruth at all, but having been through some difficult experiences akin to yours, though much less dangerous in the end, I felt like sending something positive to the both of you. Somehow, the energy in this video seemed relevant, especially because of your relationship... ignore if not so, and in any case all my best wishes!

Paul:
My wife (then gf) and I remember you from HSU climbing class - '90 or '91. You were so supportive of us noobs and your enthusiasm was contagious. You were an inspiration then, you are an inspiration now.

Well, we are back in San Francisco for another day of observation and blood tests. 10 hours of tests today. No traffic, though, on the way in from Santa Rosa. We are an hour early!
Good News:
The tumors are SHRINKING!!!
Hard to believe, but the truth is in the palpating. They are smaller. I have more energy and am walking better.
Nice to hear from folks from the past, hi back!
Mastering on,
Paul

Well, the tumors are still slowly shrinking! I am feeling good enough to go to the climbing gym...
I have also started a blog so my non-climbing family and friends can check out how Ruth and I are doing.
Check it out at http://disastermasterblog.blogspot.com/
Climbing on,
