Keep your fingers crossed for me, guys and gals,

Best wishes, Gary.

You should be fine, the first successful treatment was done in Sweden in 1957, and things have moved on significantly since then. (There are also significantly less side effects then normal radiation therapy)

I hope this treatment helps. They really can do so much these days. You are and have been a mentor of mine. I've learned a lot because of you, and I mean more than just the music!! -charley

The first treatment went well, no side effects. The second treatment was 2 days later, a and I was not sure that I would survive the night. I threw up for 4 days, lost all my energy, couldn't get out of bed. Never been this sick in my life. Still recovering, and opted out of additional treatments.

All the best,

Gary

I had days during my chemo that I seriously considered halting it. But in the end, it was worth continuing. It's an awful decision to make at the time, I've never been so low in my life, but with encouragement of my friends, doctors and nurses I stuck it out.

I think it was honestly more for others than me that I persisted, and now I'm glad I did. At the time, not so much!

Hang in there, Gary... ❤️🙏🎹
