My MRI date in Fairbanks is set, as well as the 'mapping' CT scan in Anchorage for the prep for the week (or so) of radiation.
Assistant in the office told me they'd prefer for me to have my bowels completely emptied at the time of the CT scan.
I told her she'd have to talk with my bowels about that, as I'm nearly completely out of the loop where that's concerned, anymore.
So I guess I start glowing in the dark on February 19. Hope everyone keeps the Jiffy Pop at a safe distance.

What you got going on? If you don’t mind me asking don’t know if it’s been discussed or not

Post-radical prostatectomy with chemical recurrent cancer, with a decent sized tumor in a lymph gland near the right iliac (inner right-hand hip), coincidentally very near where another lymph gland with a tumor was pulled 2-3/4 years ago during the initial radical prostatectomy, when the Doc who nearly killed me pulled 25 lymph glands for pathology during that ill-fated surgery and discovered the cancer had already escaped the 'capsule' and a sunnier prognosis went -straight- down the shitter.
Told them no one's going near the area the previous surgeon messed up, unless I get a whole lot more clingy with life than I am right now, but that I'd accept SBRT on the lymph gland area with the current tumor WITHOUT anti-androgen tx if they stay away from the area that the Doc in Seattle botched and later nearly killed me, with 7 massive infections and a consolation prize of a trophy-sized hematoma for good measure..
I told the current Docs they should imagine the previous 'zone of destruction' as being cordoned off with yellow police crime scene barrier tape, and no one goes past that line.. ever again.

The words I would share with anyone involve reframing, to the extent that to some degree, I'm one of the fortunate or lucky ones who got the golden telegram, telling me that time's probably more limited than my lethargic self had assumed, and to straighten out accounts; relationships, sleights, wrongs, apologies, whatever.
There's some poor bastard on some highway this very minute, about to have a head-on, with no prior warning to clean up whatever shit's still floating in the wind, and they won't be afforded that opportunity.
And to get past that initial shock phase after diagnosis, and the 'hurry up and battle it' phase that follows, and all the time spent wringing hands and worrying about data and numbers you can't really control, because while all of that BS is sucking your energy away, life is happening, and the Zen irony in that is that in those phases, one is forfeiting life for fear of forfeiting life.
Makes absolutely no sense when looked at from that perspective.
Most of this world and life was never really in our control in the first place.
That angle of view has given me peace more than many other things.

Oh I love a woman gone grey. My favorite is highlights or streaks of silver.
My lady had the potential to be a true witch tonight but I cut the head off of the serpent before it even got through the door.
Let me share the wisdom followed by success.
This crazy one sets her alarm for 3:30 all to catch a match from the Outback before standing in front of sheltered teen screen goblers teaching smarts above my compression. This is all before spending four hours with the horses. Girl can ride!
Hungry and tired tends to take the beauty out of all of us. Proactive @Unca Walt! Dishes done, dinner ready, and even added a bonus..lunch on the go, all she has to do is open the fridge with her sleepy eyes.
Shared our day over grain, veggies and feta and recommend an early shower. She's delightful and I avoided a rough one.
What's the saying? Happy wife boring life. I don't mind boring as much these days.
Wow Well said
