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.

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...

Mary,
Yes, I never know what to attribute symptoms too, so I need to "ask the experts." I learned several years ago that medicine is not engineering and to expect the unexpected!
Thanks,
Mark
P.S. Apparently, you're the only person that comments on my blog anymore... :)
What about me? I am chopped liver? Oh wait, you said person.
ooooooooooo....I guess Big Monkey is a little out of sorts, Mark! Be careful, you sleep in the same house with him!!! Something tells me that he doesn't sleep as much as you....lol...lol....
Mark, sometimes people just read your blog, and not always comment. There are days that I don't always have time to respond, but still read what people say. Then there are those who may not review it but every few days. Then there are those who (like my Mom) don't even know how to "comment" because of their true novice skills. I "bookmarked" your blog for my mom so she could at least go to it and read it.
Please don't worry about who responds, for I'm sure your detailed reports, charts, etc., are very important to many people, especially me (even though I can't always understand them). Again, my understanding everything is because I am NOT an engineer. But there are plenty of people out there that like to compare your progress, and it does make one feel good to see the good reports. Shows that Prayers, and the doctors, of course, are doing their job.
Keep on smiling -- love your picture on the page, too.Great smile!
Always,
Mary Gregory
