Pictures today are courtesy of my Mom, who was kind enough to scan and send some baby pictures; they are presented here for your amusement. You can see me at 6 months with my brother, and at 2 1/2 months alone. I’m amazed what a little Photoshop can do for a 36-year-old print. The final picture is me and my ‘first girlfriend’ who lived across the street. Note the sweet 70’s outfit and suave cowboy hat (which could have been stolen off a midget Russian prostitute).
Anyway, I spent the morning at the hospital today getting my blood tested and, after clean results, collecting my 9th cycle of chemo. I’m obviously not looking forward to the next 5 days, but whatever I need to do I need to do I guess. The next MRI will be after my 10th cycle in mid November and we are obviously hoping for more good news.
On a lighter note, Nicole and I have a bit of travel coming up! We will be going to Singapore (fork for me) and then to a friends wedding party in Shanghai. It will be Nicole’s first time in each place and should be a nice break from work and treatment.
That’s it for now. I will try to post something just after this cycle is complete. Wish me luck and all my love to all of you!

To celebrate feeling better (and because there was a planned cut in electricity all day today at my building), Nicole and I spent most of the afternoon wandering around Hong Kong Park where I tried my hand at some macro photography. I only wish I had a proper macro lens, as getting really close was definitely a challenge. Ah well.
