July 2010 Update

Hi All...

Well, the latest CT scan showed that about half of my melanoma spots have disappeared and the other half have gotten smaller, except for one. My doctor initially said it would either take sugery or radiation to fix that one, but another doctor mentioned a new outpatient procedure called Radio Frequency Ablation. For this, they insert a needle into the tumor and basically microwave it using alternating electrical charges. Sounds good to me (better than surgery :)

So I'm still hanging in there, feeling good and may be done with the chemo, at least for now. Maybe without the chemo, I can gain some of my weight back and not look like I'm 110 years old :)

Hope you all stay well...

Bill
