  I had SABR treatment that ended five weeks ago. I would like to report, for the benefit of people looking forward to this, that the side effects have been pretty much as predicted in terms of the nature, severity, and duration. The most noticeable on...

  Chemo Sixth Cycle, Week Three: Desdemona Is Caged – For Now!

  Post 510: Hey Doc, what are you on?

  Post 510: Hey Doc, what are you on? Is there anything like having a chat to a person that’s fully committed to a bad idea and gives you a load of bullshit about it even though he’s wrong. That was the unexpected twist to my blood test re...
