I've started this site as a means to keep family, friends and co-workers updated on the status of a brain tumor that I was diagnosed with on August 23, 2006. It will certainly be a work in progress, but I hope that it will provide people with relevant information and feedback. Note that I don't claim to have the expertise of a Doctor, this site just reflects my opinions and personal experiences.
Quick update. Hospital equipment failure, mission aborted. Rescheduled for NEXT Tuesday. They cut to my skull, but aborted prior to drilling. I am on IVs for a while, but will go home tonight.
PLEASE, DO NOT CALL or TEXT MY CELL!!!

This blog still represents my medical updates, but it has assumed another function - to help other patients with the same or similar conditions, or anything to be determined to be cancerous. Treatments for different types of cancer will vary a LOT, but some items MAY be common. I do occasionally inject (<-too many medical treatments) some posts about my other activities, for reader entertainment (hopefully). I may be late, or not report something, but rest-assured that I probably have a photo of it! :) On delays - seemingly random acts. I strongly desire to keep this site up to date, but other events may take priority and create delays. I wish I could clone myself ;), but the technology is not here yet. A very quick summary...

Mark, I've been checking here sporadically through the day. Initially, I was happy and relieved when I saw the first pic, then scrolled to see the second (ala no surgery); you faked me out! (do they still say that these days?) Okay, I still am happy; happy you're keeping your spirits up and smiling!
Anyway, Amy wanted me to make sure you knew she was thinking of you and your family as well. Laura looks great in the pics, tell her we said HI! Was that to get you out of the doghouse because you posted Karl first?...mmmm....
