So I have been holding off on mentioning this until all the ducks were in order.
I was taken off the liver transplant list in June, 2022 and am still off of it. My liver numbers have continued to improve and I am doing well with that and feeling good. I see my gastroenterologist every 6 months and this includes a blood test. Anyway, to cut the chase, they found a small heptocellular cancer(hcc) tumor. The outlook is very good. I started immunotherapy yesterday and have none of the myriad of possible side effects that they warned me about. This will (or should) shrink the tumor or eliminate it. I will have another IV of stuff (it bolsters my immune cells to attack the tumor aggressively as the tumor suppresses the immune cells to attack it. As I said, the odds are very much in my favor. Optimism is the only way to look at this thing. Keep good thoughts and prayers for me, if you are so inclined, coming.
Have good ones.

It was fun catching up with my old friend yesterday. We still have a bond. Nice.

An old friend from grad school is visiting overnight today. He worked as a school psychologist for the Victor, NY school district while I did the same for the Hilton, NY district. When he retired he moved to Colorado, always an outdoors kind of guy. It will be good to catch up. the last time we say each other was at a Steely Dan concert at the Cayuga Performing Arts Center in Canandaigua, NY in 2013.
Have good ones.

I saw him 19 years ago today in the Cincinnati area. Great experience. I will miss being on the same ocean with him.
Have good ones.
