Dear All,

I tried to post this msg to the list and to Hughie's addy a bunch of
times, but it wouldn't go thru for some reason.

H: I just wanted to know your appt with the onc went? Am concerned
about you.

Alan is a wonderful lad, he treats you like the apple of his eye.
It's almost biblical. The way he forces you to do stuff that's good
for you, like riding your bike and playing the organ.

Where did the boy learn to whack people?? You started it by losing
control and throwing his music out the window. Now you're blaming the
Celts. Hmm... You might hear from yet another maligned people.

What your son did was inexcusable, but you should have a talk with him
and apologize for your own inebriated behavior. And it makes no sense
for Alan to have to cook for himself when you can do it better.
Prepare his favorite foods. He gave you a hug, give him one back.

Your lad is under a lot of stress himself, and he has shown a lot of
forbearance for you, too.

Love,

L.

PS: Ted said to me before: "I'm sure by now they have already "kissed
and made up".

Alan's the one that kisses guys. NOT me.
And his wish comes true tonight. There better not be any noisy stuff or
it'll be the last time he stays. Jack better not call me "Pops" again
either.

OK - Onco visit.
Another different doctor by the name of Mahmood (Yes - strong accent)
I almost ran out thinking about the tanned skin chappies who tried to blow
up the airport.
Again - No Radiation for bone mets - being kept on 40 mg MST x 2 daily with
20 mg breakthroughs as req'd.
Excuse for no Radio - "Not appropriate or advised in YOUR case" (Hum and
Haw, cough,cough change subject)
I asked about new drug trials - one Aberitarone Acetate and told not
current, which is a LIE. It's in phase 2 I think? at the Royal Marsden in
London, so I'm writing to them directly. Steve Jordan sent me the info
(Thanks Mate)
There was a lot of talk about nothing, a lot of paper shuffling and my
Prozac upped to 3 a day and he put me on 20 mg Temazepam at night. Bloods
done for PSA, T & DHT One Phlebotomist on duty and it took about an hour of
waiting to be drawn.
Next appt is on 16th October and another different doctor - a Dr Williams
this next time. That's each time, someone different. No wonder I feel like
no-one's really interested and I'm just being f.cked about from pillar to
post. Ah well. C'est la Vie! (Or might it be C'est la Morte?)
The bone scan - 3 hours walking about the west end looking for Apricots
(Dont ask) after the injection, then a po-faced operator who just shrugged
after it was done. I'll get the result at the next Onco visit - THREE MONTHS
AWAY which I find amazing. My GP will have the results of the bloods end of
next week (27th)
That's about it. Very exciting (not)
Oh - because I was having a real wet hot flush during the consult, Onco gave
me a free box of Kleenex. Great. Happy as Larry now with my free box of
Hankies.

That's great, Hughie. The most I ever got was an appointment card and a
co-pay.
