My partner and I went to see the radiologist today for a follow-up after his latest series of radiation treatments.  The CAT Scan he had last week shows he doesn’t have any significant hot spots at this time.  His lab work shows he is moderately anemic, which explains why he is always cold and has no energy.  We will be seeing his oncologist for his long-acting female hormone shot* in two weeks and to get the results of lab work that will be drawn between now and then.  If the anemia isn’t beginning to resolve itself by then, a transfusion or medication may be necessary to deal with the anemia.  Other than the anemia, things are looking pretty good and we may get to enjoy a period of relative normality in our lives.

I want to apologize to Dirkman for hijacking the thread about his mother.  Also I would like to thank everyone for their concern.

*This is to control his cancer; my partner is not in the process of becoming female.  He is less than thrilled by the side effects of this treatment to put it mildly.

My 89 year old father/old goat has prostate cancer, actually he has 3 types of cancer, all which seem to be in a period of non-activity/remission.  I wish you and the partner a bit of calm.  I have seen several  men go into remission at the stage your partner seems to be/from what I am reading.

My father had three different forms of cancer during his last years and had significant periods of remission.  In fact, it was damage to his circulatory system caused by chemo and radiation that killed him, not one of his cancers.  His death was caused by an abdominal aneurysm that ruptured and killed much of his small bowel.

As with Dirck, I'm sorry you're going through this, fnord.  Other people's pain can be the most difficult.

I've baited you in the past, and I respect the fact you've never risen to it.  You're the only Cruel old-timer here who still posts often and well.  Thanks.

Wait...a...minute...  you're either female or gay.  I never get the memos :(

I'm always the last to know.


Anyway, fnordy, I disagree with you on a number of issues but I sincerely hope your loved one has the best of fortune in his treatments.  Good luck to you both.

He pulled way back, way back for the chemo (once every 3 months, low, low dosage only as needed).   He opted for no radiation what so ever.  It seems to be working for him

I'm not.  After posting in Dirkman's thread I realized I might have thrown a wet blanket on any humor involving me.  The remarks in this thread show things are back to normal.

Going by the pictures, he has as much facial hair as the majority of the Dykes in Portland.  The jury is out.

Fnordonovichka,

I hope all goes well with your beau, and godspeed his recovery.

But if you're pulling a fast one on everyone bub, I'll be  first out
of the gate to congratulate you on such excellent Horsemanship.
This one's right out of  my play book (although I never played a "gay card" before). 

Each time that I visit here I find new reasons to be proud of my legacy.  But I admit, this one's a stumper.   I seem to recall you mentioning that you live or once lived in Frisco?  Hmm, could be a clue.  Are you into William Vollman? 

Also, if you don't mind my asking, what is the best "flavored" personal lubricant on the market, in your opinion?

Just a quick update on what’s happening in my life.  My partner’s cancer appears to be going into remission.  His most recent PSA level was 0.3 (this is at the very low end of a normal level, a man with active prostate cancer will have a very high PSA level), and his last CAT Scan showed no significant lesions.  He is still anemic, but his hemoglobin is beginning to go up.  We have started taking long walks to build his strength back up.  If all continues to go well, I will be looking for work soon.

I am glad to hear it.  I've stayed out of this, since I don't have a prostate; but my father beat his own cancer diagnosis quite handily several years back.  Hope it continues to go well.  Also, good luck in finding a job (provided you don't get mine).

This news buoyed me through my afternoon.  At least somewhere in the world something good is happening.  Our neighbor had a serious bicycle accident; she has been in and out of the hospital with concussion problems, including a malfunctioning pituitary.  She is out of the hospital for now.

Fnord, you know I have a burning hatred for your ideas about race, I haven't hidden them.  I hope you also know that I'm sincere when I say that I wish you and your partner the best.  Everyone is scared when it comes to the big 'C'.  Regardless of the outcome, if it's the best or the worst, make sure you connect with the ones you love so you have no rational reason for regret. **

Why does this thread exist? Should I be forewarned of a Choad or Sofie topic of similar ilk? Why does no one send me the faxes, the email distribution lists... Honestly, I could have sworn stigmatizing Fnord was a function available in EVERY thread. I've already weathered my own Princess Bullshit "I Hate You" campaign. Gee, that was tough, like figuring out how to tie my shoelaces. Why does HS confuse me so much, lately?

BTW, I've gotten a sly offer to go back and review forums for a well known site. No point in name dropping. And, to be honest, being obligated to review things when you knew no one would take your advice was quite tedious. Anyone think I can blather my way into some pin money? (don't all raise your hands at once, you cunts).

You should absolutely take the reviewing gig, mainly because from what you've been saying lately you need work.  Also, you're not only great with the snark, but you can give coherent reasons for hating/liking something.  Just for gods' sakes leave H-S out of it.
