It’s Tuesday, 26 days since The News. The people at PAMF have apparently realized that calling me at 7:30 in the morning is causing significant harm.

Exactly how they know when I’m taking a shower I’m not entirely sure…but maybe there was a… Continue reading Back to School – Infusion teaching Session

Anti-cancer foods; Mike’s “healthy” mac & cheese
It’s Sunday, 17 days after The News. It’s been nice to have a relaxing weekend.

The Medical Oncologist
It’s Thursday, 14 days after The News. I woke up at 7:15 this morning. For no good reason. I wonder where the closest Urgent Care Facility For Nocturnal Beings is. I’ll need to pay a visit soon.
