the goodness
Hey,
Good news all around. Just had chemo 5 of 12. Feeling pretty good. My white blood cell counts were excellent, the pineapple continues to shrink, and I haven’t lost any weight since I started treatment.
Also, my drugs are about to get a lot cheaper - like free-ninety-nine cheap. Got a letter from Pharmacare - the final numbers are that I have to pay $1200/year, after which I get 70% off until I’ve paid $1600, after which it’s 100% off. Not bad, eh? I’m sure I’ll hit the $1600 mark soon if I haven’t already. This is very, very good news. Yay socialism!
And my holidays start today. Heading to Hollyhock retreat centre on Cortes Is. for a week of meditation, creativity, great food, swimming in the ocean, massage, hot-tubbing, etc. Also my band is going to play a gig there, after playing their first public show (in the new hi-fi multimedia format) last week on Hornby Is..
See you in a week!

Keith that was a fun time with you and Gary at Jericho Beach. (we’re all grown up now, but dad still buys the popsicles). The west side of Vancouver is the place to be! You are looking and sounding great. Good luck with future treatments as they diminish the pineapple and strengthen your soul. Much love, dad.
Thank’s papa!
