October 2016 Update--After the Marathon

The trip west was well worth it!

It all went well, of course. Shelley (from Connecticut) and Jeff (from Colorado) exceeded their Portland Marathon goals. Jeff met the qualifying time for the next Boston Marathon. Their Funding Goal was also exceeded, by more than half. The Knight Cancer Institute at OHSU now has new research money (a few hundred dollars to add to the zillions already there). And we had a great visit!

For more background details see the last BLOG, dated September 24.

No Good Deed...

We left home at 5:00 a.m. to drop off the runners (Shelley and Jeff) and support crew (Dan and Julie) and then look for a place to park.All of us spent six or seven hours in the rain trying to catch a glimpse of our runners. And I happened to be the one to catch a cold while cheering on the kids.

I ended up with a fever, a stay in the hospital, and now a urinary tract infection complete with antibiotics. My latest chemotherapy treatment has been postponed for a few weeks. I sleep a lot.

Now we have to arrange treatment, still get in our 10-day trip to Hawaii (not negotiable), and make sure all the medical stuff works out.

Cancer still SUCKS and my next Blog will attempt to get back to prostate cancer and other normal stuff.

As a sign of gratitude i want to also reach out to others out there not lose all hope. 3 years ago I had a prostate cancer surgery. Since then I have not been able to have any erection to enable me have sex. Despite having taken various medications and supplements, I have not at all been successful. In my state of compliant i was opportune to speak to a cousin of mine because at first i was shy about the problem but this was almost tearing my marriage apart and my wife saw me as a half man who could not perform his duty as a man to satisfy her. He gave me the contact information on how to contact the doctor who sent this very powerful herbal medicine to his friend that had similar problem, i contacted him and he sent me the medication which i used too and that was all. In my life i never thought i would ever be able to have any erection not to talk about having sex again but i was proven all wrong and now i am so active like i am in my early 20's. Do not suffer in silence or be shy you can contact him too on joseherbals28@gmail.com He will surely be able to help you too.
