So, I'm a bit late with this update as I wanted to be certain of what I would say and had to verify with the Doc before I did so. Last week, after my normal infusion the Doc had moved up my six month screen to technically three months. So, off I went to the imaging center, I get pumped full of IV Contrast and I get to suck up some more of those sweet, sweet radiation rays.

So, here we are at Chemo Day 3. First the good news. Doctor is VERY pleased with my numbers. He's going to schedule me a PET scan after my next infusion (Chemo Day 4) instead of waiting for six months. Fingers crossed that news will be good! So far cold sensitivity has been my greatest side effect, if you don't count all the time of coming and going and hauling around the slow dose pump from now until Thursday.

So, day one of chemo.

Got to say, I'm having second thoughts about it after the lecture and Environmental Protection Suit I was given to clean up spills, if any. To include, if more than a small amount gets on your cloths, put them in the bio-hazard bag and bring to us for DESTRUCTION. And this is stuff I'm putting INTO my body intravenously! I mean, I get where Paracelsus was going when he said, "All things are poisons, for there is nothing without poisonous qualities. It is only the dose which makes a thing poison,” but still!

So, saw the Oncologist this week and we went over the results of my PET scan.

First the good news. All of my organs are cancer free, lungs, liver, kidneys, the whole smash. That's the good news. The bad news I am Stage IV. The PET Scan showed:

There are several small left sided peritoneal nodules measuring less than 1 cm in short axis diameter, image #240-254. There are a few small sub-5 mm right-sided peritoneal nodules which show no significant hypermetabolism, image #249-253.

Too Soon? Too Seventies? Well, there's a reason Americans are feared the world around as terrifying soldiers, we laugh at death.

Hello all:

So, as it says on the tin, I'm looking for a pre-reader to give solid, detailed feedback on plot, character development and world building. I don't need my ego stroked, but if the limit of the feedback is it's great/sucked, that doesn't help me. I need someone who can articulate, in depth how they are/aren't enjoying the overall story, the world the story is told in, and the characters as they interact with each other.
