Today's Cancer Update - Pi Day

It's been a looong day!

I met with two specialists. I was with them for about 4 hours.

When was the last time you spent more than 15 minutes with a doctor? You can do the math. It was a good day.

I still have cancer.

I can't cut it out like before. I have to be patient. My closest friends and family can attest that I am, in fact, a patient man. However, I really want this shit outta me! (Excuse my language. You know I don't cuss, but sheesh!!)

Surgery really isn't an option. I've had two surgeons play "hot potato" with me. You know when a surgeon declines cutting you open it's serious.

I still have cancer.

I could try TheraSphere Y-90 therapy. That's so cool and very technologically forward, but there's very little data for kidney cancer (metastasized to the liver) treatment. Is it worth it? It's cool, but is it viable? I can't say. I'm a statistic of one. It would also only treat the lesions on the liver. It wouldn't touch what's happening on my remaining adrenal gland.

I need to trust the experts. I need to trust in God. Why would he bring me here if it weren't the right place?

Today I end in the same way I started. I am a Stage IV, metastatic kidney cancer patient. I am a dad. I am a husband. I write Napkin Notes.

Please help me inspire other parents to write to their children. Please help me inspire people to build strong relationships with other people.

If you're here, you must believe this is a valuable message. Please share it.

Thank you for your continued support.
