Death and the Questionaire/it's that time again.
My numbers continue to improve!!! My PSA is 137 down from 161 last month and 374 when I started. Doc says when it gets below 50 I will go off the chemo and continue with the clinical trial drug, which is not a chemo......I think I have the summer off. Yea! As part of the clinical trial I have to fill out a questionaire eveytime I come here, same questions each time. It asks questions like....are you happy with your way of life? NO,......Do your friends and family support you? YES, do you sometimes feel like giving up? NO......Generally trying to ascertain my heads' well being. I wanted to reflect on one of the questions, which is "Do you think about death or dying often?........well duh!...I'm on chemo therapy!!!!..........what do you think!!! Believe it or not I'm asked that a lot mainly by close friends.... I sorta think of it like this: Jim Morrison of the Doors wrote a book titled "Nobody gets out of here Alive" (he didn't). Evil Kenvil used to say we are all going someday, I just may go before the rest of you (he did). I probably think about it more than you do........but we all think about it. I believe I'm going where we all go......but not any time soon! I guess even the bad guys go to the same place......I think people are bad because of only 2 things: they were born that way or somebody did something to them!..... If you believe in a righteous God, and I know a lot of you do, would he condemn those to eternal hell???.........Maybe........there are some pretty bad folks out there. I don't remember......but I guess I was happy before I was born....maybe we go back there? At the end of the day I really don't think this cancer is what is going to kill me, maybe a truck or even more romantic a yachting accident......but not this. I'm getting my treatment as I speak. Nadir will hit Saturday so I'm eating all I can, everyone wants me eating more greens.....there's lettuce on Big Macs, I get them with out the center bread. Well, I'll let you know how things went with Back from the Dead 7. PS please remember to hit reply/send on the notification email. no comment needed just want to verify my list. Thanks.
