Rain cleared out the smoke. And, that seemed to get everyone on board that they can confirm my surgery for 11/28. I'm doing the surgery and clinical trial in Santa Monica -- not ideal with the family up north, but we're all up for trying something "systemic" to attack the tumor (and sleeper cells) with this clinical trial. (Many of you forwarded me info about the polio trial -- it's similar to that).
My schedule will depend on how I feel after surgery. We're hoping the body will fight back -- we're hoping for "controlled" inflammation which says that the body is targeting tumor cells and fighting back. But, too much inflammation can lead to risks.
For now, we're getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving with the extended family. And then, we're going to go down to a Dude Ranch and check that out! Stella probably can't ride horses bc of her broken forearm, but we'll find fun things to do. Stella wants to catch a fish 1-handed. Jaida, I predict, will gravitate to a horse, be smitten, and ride all the time -- so we'll be lucky to see her all trip.
More soon,
Happy Thanksgiving,
stu, sandi, stella, and jaida
Happy Thanksgiving and many more!
