This afternoon I am off to the MRI joint, get a picture made of the inside of my head, see if I am bleeding more from the gamma-knife than I am supposed to be. Reason: Since last week I have had a minor palsy, slight headaches, a fatique like I have never had before, but when they ran all the tests yesterday, they all showed normal. So now the thinking is that something might be going on where I was gamma-knifed two weeks ago.
But that is kind of a guess as well. Not only do I not know what is wrong with me, the docs haven't got a handle on it either. So they have taken me off the Sutent for the last three or four days, given me three or four bags full of fluids (See "Just South of Stupid"). Still not much to improve my overall well-being. Which means I have had to do some serious cancer arse kicking since Saturday. But I must admit it has done a good bit of kicking itself. Right now I would call it a draw.
Anway, I will give a longer rep0rt in the morning, but wanted to let y'all know why I have not posted since Saturday. I feel sure we are going to work this out, but it has been an odd experience.
you kick back even harder David.

Hey David, hang in there Buddy, as we say down east. The MRI will hopefully give you an indication as to what's happening. I'm in your corner rooting for you all the way, so hurry up and get back on track. We all enjoy reading your posts and wish you well.

David thank you so much for letting us know you are okay. I wondered if something had gone wrong. I know I appreciate you writing knowing that you are feeling so terrible. So off you go for the MRI and kick ass David. Feel better and let us know when you can how you are. You are in our prayers.

Thanks for posting, I have been checking everyday to see if you have posted. I know thats all you need right now is to have your fan base demanding an appearance.LOL, You will continue to be in my prayers. BTW, I have been on a 19 day break from Sutent and the tastebuds still are not up to snuff.
