Very Important:
I will use initials to protect identities. Thank you so much to A.R, A.T., R.S., L.F., J.W. and all others who responded to my paypal plee for some help. It kept the extra drives, lost classes and extra fuel costs from eating too far into us this week.
Thanks again,
Paul and Ruth.
edit: pretty darn young compared to most of us here....
I was only 32 when I got my first diagnosis. Never too young to burn!

Hi Paul and Ruth. Just got on line at a McDonald's wifi hot spot. What good news! You don't have to return my calls for now. I was getting frustrated because couldn't get on line for a few days. Will head back to CA Tuesday afternoon and get home sometime Wed. Will check in here when we get there if not from the road.
Marilyn and all our friends send their thanks and prayers that new pill will
KILL ALL those Tumors.
We Love you BOTH!
Dad

More thanks for $ help from A.L. and S.W. It helps.
Dad, How many times did I miss your calls? It was a blurr for a while there with the pain killers.
I am eating now, and it's staying daown. I discused my own med plan with my top doc. He was all for it. Seems to think I know what I am doing with myself.
I hope to get out of bed with less pain soon. I want to sort and scan a boxof old photos. I could use a lot of them to ilustrate more past TR's and tales. The hospital pix arn't that exciting.
One move at a time
-DM
(Pretty extreem stuff, huh, LOL.)
Edit: I think the BRAF drugs spike my appitite. So I am hopeful that the new version will do the same. Mabe starting? The BRAF drug is not helping the big beast tumor though. For that I am betting onthe other new drug targeting MEK, as they say. It is the crux tumor of th matter, and must go!

Geez...you look like a different man from the hospital pix to the at-home pic. So glad to see you eating. Keeping your food down will hopefully build up your strength to attack the tumor with your new meds. Sitting here with my cup of tea...virtually sharing it with you. Susan

Thanks for all your updates. I'm glad some good is happening. If one can't pay pal you, do you have a mailing address ? Hope you weren't offended when I suggested you change your avatar. I just don't want you to have any more disaster's or be a master of them. (even if your name is meant in fun which I'm sure it is.) Peace, lynne

Happy Valentine's day.
Ruth, I love you!
Today, I am trying to figure out who this wonderful woman Ruth is... People following this thread see the highlights (of the lowlights). Ruth sees and endures the worst of it, including my incredibly expressive and loud meltdowns. (I don't hold Happy OR Angry or anything else in very well.)
Amazed that she is strong enough to weather my madness and still come back with nothing but LOVE, the real thing. Period.
I keep trying to improve (Slowly, it seems) as a man to eventually match her as a human being.
Remember the one you love. And try to love a little better.
-Paul.

I PMed you a day or two ago,(e-mailed you that) Lynne. Thanks for the offer. Have you checked your e-mail?
Did you see my response to the new avatar request? Thanks again.

I emailed you for an address and haven't heard back yet? OK, that's wierd. ST keeps saying my replies are sent.?
Is there an issue with that part of the site?
How do I get my info to you without broadcasting it here?
Puzzled....Anyone in charge here?

Paul, I check my emails daily. Mine didn't go through either. Try again. The ST email usually works. Thanks Lynne
Didn't see your response to the "avatar request", Paul (it was kind of a joke....) What day did you post it?
Hope today is a good one for you and Ruth. (my middle name :D)

Paul, Happy Valentines to you! You have an incredible heart and soul shining through every day even in your terrible pain. May the biggest Valentine gift you get is your new meds kicking the poo out of your tumor. More Valentine hugs for Ruth too! Sitting here with my afternoon cuppa tea, virtual tea cup clink with you.
