That's wonderful news, Goofus. I hope the paralysis improves soon, but still, benign is good.

Whew! I'm so happy for you Goof! Might see you at BLAT!

Tomorrow is a good day for blundervibes, if you've got some handy. I see a doctor in New Haven and get one step closer to finding out how...and where...I'm spending the summer. At least I guess it's the summmer we're talking about. Medical wheels seem to grind slowly. Anyway, thanks for the anticipated vibes. I wouldn't leave home without them.

Pat, vibes and good wishes heading your way. Hope they get there by tomorrow morning.

take cool vibes and cool breezes with you pat!

Pat, you got 'em (Blundervibes). Will be taking a photo of the Trinity and auxiliaries with me everywhere tomorrow and concentrating on your image and sending vibes for strength and health and peace.

Pat, you have all the blundervibes that I can possibly send to you. Seems that I need to focus on the northeast a bunch these days. Be well and know that you are in our hearts!

Vibes are on the way! New Haven isn't that far.....

Vibes heading your way, Pat!!!

Pat, I'm sending so many vibes that they picked them up in California on a seismograph! 12.5 on the Richter scale!

Pat, Reg and I are keeping you in our thoughts. All the best...

Vibes still heading your way,
Bev and Alan.

Blundervibes did it again!

I don't even remember how much detail I gave here, but I was going up to New Haven to find out if I'd have to have Total Skin Electron Beam Radiation, or if localized radiation would do. The difference is that the first would involve treatment in New Haven four days a week for nine weeks. That would mean living there for those days, because it's too far to commute, especially during this treatment. There are also side effects that include losing hair..ok..that's something that we have to do sometimes...and losing fingernails and toenails. That didn't have a lot of appeal.

The doctor recommended the localized radiation which can be done right here at SUNY Stony Brook, which takes fewer weeks and has less dramatic side effects. There's a tiny chance that a more complete reading of my PET scan could change that, but I think it's really tiny because he's already been in touch with Stony Brook to get things going.

The prognosis is good. It's usually good with this thing. It's not deadly unless it gets in the lymph nodes and my lymph nodes have been generally admired by all the doctors I've seen. They seem to be unaffected.

This is the best news I could have hoped for and I thank you so much for the good wishes and vibes.
