Vegas So thankfully, my white blood cell count was back up to normal by the time I left for Las Vegas. Otherwise I would’ve had to inject myself with the Neupogen, and that simply wasn’t going to happen. But of course, *something* had to come up while I was on the trip… For whatever reason,

The Circle of Death This time last year, I was on my mom’s couch, feeling as if I had been run over by a truck. Thankfully, it was from the last chemo treatment I would have to endure. Hard to believe it’s been a year since then. On June 16th, 2003 I showed up at

Ah come on, Adrian, it’s true. I was nobody. But that don’t matter either, you know? ‘Cause I was thinkin’, it really don’t matter if I lose this fight. It really don’t matter if this guy opens my head, either. ‘Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody’s ever gone the distance with

On August 9th, I posted the following: I’ll be feeling *really* good in six months when I’ve got a few checkups under my belt with good blood test/x-ray/CT scan reports. Oh, and having hair again will be nice as well Well, it’s been six months, and I am indeed feeling really good! Physically, I’m in

Strangely enough, the primary cancer-killing drug I’m taking is a form of platinum… I’d much rather have it on a record hanging on my wall, but I’m just glad it works, however odd. The good news is that after my first cycle of chemo, my AFP tumor marker level was down from 168 to 20

It’s been nearly two months since my last entry, and most people who read this can probably figure out why. I’ve had stupid little things to post here, but it seemed dumb not to address the big issue going on right now. Anyway, on May 23rd I had a tumor removed, which turned out to
