Health Update

Good Evening,
Sorry it took so long to write but I'm really tired of all this shit! Some things get better and others get worse. Where to start? The cancer treatment is at 4 months and is getting better. The last 3 months sucked but it looks like the cancer is taking a beating.Because of the severity, it will take 2 years before it will be done, so no Testosterone which sucks because I'll still be fatigued. I'm weighting the options because the choice will ultimately be mine. Maybe a little roid wouldn't be to bad?
The Cushing Syndrome( Goggle Mayo Clinic ) is back and I feel its effects. The headaches are only once a week but that's better than daily. Growth Hormones would help but could wake up the brain tumor. Oh yeah some of the little bastard is still around, therein lies the problem. I was told a few weeks ago that both the cushing and tumor are incurable, so we are going to try management. Hopefully done better than the mortgage market. If the tumor comes back maybe surgery again ,the concern is possible blindness. Funny, the thing (cancer) that I thought would get me isn't. Seems the others might, pretty ironic. I'm not done yet, after all you kill the prince of darkness!
After 2 months on the road doing shows and getting all my work done I'm spent. Seems the right side of my body, hand , leg and foot are swelling up. It's the same side as my headaches who knows if they are related. I asked my doc, guess what more tests. Time for a break before I lose it. Catch you on the flip side.
Ciao, Craig
