I promised renowned Canadian recording artist and my close personal friend Bif Naked that I was going to cut back on my shameless name dropping in Crush The Tumour With Humour this time around.
Really. Promised. I'm working on it.
Anyways, I had to call Don Taylor -- he of Sports Page fame and the much ballyhooed Donnie and Dhali show weekdays on CHEK 6 -- about something work related. He didn't pick up and I had to leave a message. And -- Don being Don -- he called back promptly.
Ewen: Hello. Thanks for tracking me down. How are you?
Taylor: I'm great Steve. And you?
Ewen: I'm great, too.
Taylor: I read your blog. You want to try that answer again?
Yes, the cancer is back, which is why CTTWH has come out of the bullpen and gotten . Third time for both.
After going through eight surgeries, six months in hospital and learning to walk again the first time and a stem cell transplant the second time things sound much simpler for this episode. The tumour is in the L-1 vertebrae, We met with the radiologist on Monday and she believes that 10 sessions split over 10 straight week days should do away with culprit.
I have a scan Friday at B.C. Cancer where they'll aim the phasers and set everything up and then it'll be another few days while the scheduling department gets me on their list before they start blasting away.
The radiation caused problems back in Round 1, because it took out the T-2 vertebrae as well as the tumour and led to a full back collapse. The explanation this time around is that there's much more of the L-1 intact because they've caught things so early.
I'm going to see what Bif Naked thinks.
Stay tuned.
