The cancer clinic where I get treatment/tests does this. I usually get one and drop off one or two every time I go there.

Which is not as often as it used to be. I went from Stage 4 Terminal to testing negative for Lymphoma after just 3 weeks of starting to take the capsules I wrote about earlier on another thread.

Used to go twice a month for Pet Scans.

Then once a month.

The cancer doc told me today my new schedule is once every 3 months.

You captured a pic I was trying to readjust (sigh) -- but anyways, I did read about you taking capsules. What a wonderful miracle drug!!

I am very happy for you @sneakypete

PLEASE feel free to pass that info on to anyone you know or meet that has been  told they have terminal cancer.

Thank you.  I only wish my father was still alive, chemo took his life within 6 mos.  I wonder if it works for rare cysts?? Maybe worth a try.

When you are out of options,anything is worth a try.

I could do surgery, but the success rate is not great with a 50% chance of surgery making symptoms worse and the recovery is usually about 18 - 24 mos; long term success rate isn't good either.

"The Diamond Eye" by Kate Quinn

 --- It is historical fiction. It is based on a true story that takes place during WWII about one of history's deadliest female snipers.

Current book:
"Collapse" by Kurt Schlichter. It's one of his fiction series.

I'm reading Eclipse v3.6 release notes about SWT errors and incompatibilities with GTK v3.20+ on Linux 8. 

Thrilling.

Nothing as exciting as getting 3rd Party Vendor products built upon outdated software "frameworks" to run on newer operating systems.

- SPOILER ALERT -

The issue was resolved in Eclipse v3.9, but, I can't upgrade to that because it's bundled with a vendor product.

Damn you, open source software and useless vendor support!

Yeah,I can understand why you want to defer that surgery.

I’d give everything for five more minutes with our friend, it’s still painful and raw from missing him.

Hugs @Gefn   I don't know if things ever get any easier, it's just that you learn to live without a loved one.

Pretty decent book so far.

The Birth of the Modern: World Society, 1815-1830 by Paul Johnson. Previously I have read his books Modern Times & Intellectuals. He's rapidly becoming one of my favorite historians.

I've been reading a few Nelson DeMille books, including Night Fall, which revolves around the crash of TW800 in 1996 and the possible federal coverup of its true cause. Very good.  (The subject matter appealed to me because I knew a TW flight attendant who was supposed to work that flight, but switched with someone else for that JFK-CDG run).
The author appeared on Jesse Watters' show recently to tout his latest, The Maze.

Excellent author! Never fails to entertain and inform.

Yes, between DeMille, Deutermann and Baldacci, I'm learning a lot about the workings of government and the military.

I'm finally reading "The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America's Shining Women".  I've been meaning to read it for awhile, but I generally read more after baseball season is over. 
Definitely a fascinating book.

It is a wonderful account of the watch and dial manufacturing industry, much of it in Ottawa, Illinois. I visited some of the sites there including The Radium Girl statue.

I never Read the book but I saw the movie which came out in 2020 based on the book.

Highly recommend.

"The Price We Paid"
The story of the Willie and Martin handcart companies of 1856, Mormon emigrants from Europe who walked across the plains towing handcarts, and who left Nebraska too late in the season and got caught up in early winter storms crossing the Rockies...

My book club picked this book for this month and I can’t put it down.

“The Measure” by Nikki Erlick.

It’s a book from “Read with Jenna” - I didn’t know she had a book following like Oprah or Reese.

We’re going to discuss it this afternoon.
