I received treatment at las colinas cancer center. Amazing folks!

The nerve thing was definitely L'Hermittes. Still have it every now and then but nowhere near as bad as before. As to the cholesterol thing...I used to be on Lipitor before cancer. Constant muscle soreness that I attributed to working out like a madman. Quit Lipitor. No more muscle soreness. Still lift like a madman.

Right before I got sick I was running around 30 miles a week and eating very close to a perfect diet. I got cancer anyway. So, I still run. I still watch my diet. But every now and then I have a beer. Sometimes I have cheese enchiladas. If I learned anything it's that everyone passes. Even vegans. They just wish they'd had a steak beforehand.
