William fighting cancer: June 2011
http://williamfightingcancer.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 28, 2011. Pre test results, pre the Grande Boucle. Whatever the results on Friday, I know – beyond a shadow of a doubt – that having cancer is going to make me a better person. Take that cancer, and stick it where the sun don’t shine. Thursday, June 23, 2011. In a war, troops are not always engaged in combat, but they. Sunday, June 19, 2011. So, the good news. My t-cells grew in sufficient quantities to enter the TIL study (detailed below, link on the right), yeah! Sunday, June 12, 2011.

William fighting cancer: July 2012
http://williamfightingcancer.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 2, 2012. Words are powerful things, they have the power to convey intense feelings and to mark periods of profound significance. I've recently been pondering the meaning of a new favorite word - remission. Definition: A period during which symptoms of disease are reduced (partial remission) or disappear (complete remission). Disappearance of all disease is complete remission; reduction tumor size by more than 50 percent is considered partial remission. The BRAF/MEK combination is working - h...

William fighting cancer: September 2011
http://williamfightingcancer.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 23, 2011. So time for a score update: William 1, cancer 0. Sunday, September 18, 2011. I have had a lot of questions on the details of my treatment, what is it like to go through (aggressive) cancer treatment? Jerry Seinfeld had a joke about how there is no normal strength pain medication any more? So, in five hours you get to ask the question - do we do another dose or call it quits? Wednesday, September 14, 2011. Monday, September 5, 2011. Friday, September 2, 2011. Yesterday I was in...

William fighting cancer: January 2012

Wednesday, January 4, 2012. I'm now on daily low-dose chemotherapy drug on a 21 day cycle with 7 days off. The idea for the protocol comes from a paper.

Friday, June 8, 2012. Bad news, more good news. For the good news - continued success with the combination therapy. News of this has hit the press from the ASCO conference. Glaxo Melanoma Drugs Beat Standard Chemotherapy In Study. BLOOMBERG - By Makiko Kitamura and Robert Langreth - Jun 4, 2012 12:00 AM ET.

William fighting cancer: March 2012
http://williamfightingcancer.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 16, 2012. After talking to MD Anderson and some soul searching, we decided on the BRAF MEK study because we needed to address my not inconsequential tumor load and we're weren't sure we could wait the 4-6 months for an immunological drug like anti-PD1 to take effect. Plus, its pills twice a day and monthly visits back to Moffitt so a relatively easy regimen given what I've already been through. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Insights From a Renaissance Guy and Polymath Who Has Stage IV Melanoma Cancer. October 5th, 2012. With just hours to spare before we said our farewell to New Hampshire, the headstone and grave marker were installed in the cemetery. About 5pm on Thursday Sept. 27th, Krystyana and I arrived at the cemetery to watch as they placed the stones. This was the first time we got to see the finished stones instead of drawings and Photoshop ideas on a computer. Some of you may recognize it. It was taken by Jake...

Insights From a Renaissance Guy and Polymath Who Has Stage IV Melanoma Cancer. October 16th at Ol’ Blue/Tolo October 22nd, 2012. We arrived at Ol’ Blue around 5:30pm. Although sunset would be at 6:14pm, it was already darkening as the cloud cover was pretty thick except for this amazing break in the clouds which let the sun stream through. We helped each other down to the sea as the coral stone beach slid under foot. Krystyana and Martin joined me for putting the ashes into the sea. SBC – LaDonna. Octobe...

Insights From a Renaissance Guy and Polymath Who Has Stage IV Melanoma Cancer. BonaireTalkers make Bench for Ol’ Blue November 8th, 2012. Yesterday, a memorial long in the making was finally completed as a bench was placed at the Ol’ Blue dive site. Thank you again to all the BonaireTalkers that pitched in for the bench. To the right of the bench is a break in the iron shore leading down to the coral rubble beach. This entry was posted on Thursday, November 8th, 2012 at 13:33 and is filed under Family.
