papabearjew scan results
« on: November 19, 2013, 07:10:51 PM »
had my quarterly scans this past Friday. For the first time in 3 years (and 3 bouts with cancer) I finally got some decent news from scans. Not awesome but decent. The chemo treatments, which really suck, have shrunk 3 of the lesions on my lungs to oblivion and the 4th has shrunk quite a bit. Next step is radiation then 6-8 more months of chemo along with the regular quarterly scans.  Unfortunately the origin of my cancer is colon which is very aggressive and keeps spreading and according to oncologist most likely will continue to spread at some point. But at least for now no surgery.

I'm so glad for you, Brad.   I hope you get your strength back up enough so we can make a Jerry's run together (and there is now the bargain section which is at ground level so you don't have to do that long, steep stairwell).

Great news PBJ!! Keep the good news coming.
I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.
