Just an update on my treatment.

I'm beginning the 3rd week of treatment tomorrow.  The doctors have said things are going very well so far. 

I am limited to eating mostly soft and liquid food due to the sores that develop in the mouth and throat from the radiotherapy.  I am also losing sense of taste and saliva production.  It is a chore to eat and sustain myself enough to keep my weight from dropping too much.

Chemo is a pain in the ass, I feel crappy for 2 days afterwards.  The 2nd day being almost flu-like.

This week I hope to get well enough by Saturday or Sunday to do some crabbing if the weather permits. 

Looking forward to recovery.

Marv,

Thanks for the update, and giving us an idea of what you're dealing with.  Sounds pretty rough.

Very relieved to hear it's working, though.

met up with marv on monday for lunch in the SOMA area.  still looking as beautiful as ever (and as much of a punk as ever - i told him, "SMILE" and this is what he came up with)!  He says he wants to try crabbing this weekend, we will see how he feels!

[dpshim]

Marv, keep on fighting brother!! Btw, I love your "smile" I Hope that you feel well enough to go crabbing. If not, I'm more than willing to offer some of mine to ya I'll be dropping some traps Monday evening to soak for a number of hours before I pull them up and drive back down to Monterey that early morning.

If there's anything ya need, don;t hesitate to ask my brother

Marv has facial emotions that can be hard to read, his body language at times deceiving. Sometimes you catch him smiling
