I just lost focus

When I first started this blog, I didn't intend it to be an outlet for my political beliefs. It was intended only to be about me, describing my experiences dealing with MCL (Mantle Cell Lymphoma), and educating others about some of the pitfalls dealing with the US health care system, so that others could benefit from many of the mistakes I've made.

Of course along the way, the blog strayed from its original intent, mostly discussing my exploits on the bike, and dealing with the weather here in southern California, interspersed with the occasional diatribe on the US health care system. Most recently (due to a lack of inspiration) there were even a few posts pointing out how little people in the US really understand our health care system, and the lunacy [IMO] of those few individuals employing alternative treatments.

The problem is, the more I went down that road, the more frustrated I became, ultimately leading to my previous post where I indicated I just had enough. But more than anything I think I just needed a break. There have just been way too many things going on in my life lately. Dealing with my MCL for the past [nearly] 8 years, waiting for the next shoe to drop, dealing with changes occurring at the the company I've worked for over 20 years after being purchased by a MUCH larger company, and the continual dealings with unreasonable customers [and suppliers], among other things, just started to take its toll.

So here I sit, having calmed down considerably, deciding it's time to break my silence.

So in case anyone is interested, I'm still feeling fine [mostly], and I'm still managing to get 150+ miles per week on the bike (despite the rain, and otherwise lousy weather). I just have no intention of dwelling on issues I have no control over, instead choosing to focus more on the positive [hopefully not mundane] things in life.

Hopefully it will make for a better and more interesting blog!

Fatigue! Part II - Maybe it is real?

Or it's actually Motivational Deficiency Disorder, MoDeD (pronounced Mo-Dee-Dee) for short. In a report this week by Roy Moynihan who reports for the British Medical Journal Austrailian scientists may have come across the reason for extreme laziness . The condition is claimed to affect up to one in five Australians and is characterised by overwhelming and debilitating apathy. Neuroscientists at the University of Newcastle in Australia say that in severe cases motivational deficiency disorder can be fatal, because the condition reduces the motivation to breathe. Neurologist Leth Argos is part of the team that has identified the disorder, which can be diagnosed using a combination of positron emission tomography and low scores on a motivation rating scale, previously validated in elite athletes. "This disorder is poorly understood," Professor Argos told the BMJ. "It is underdiagnosed and undertreated." Who knew? Maybe I have MoDeD, from my attempts to become a...

My concerns reaffirmed today

When I was first diagnosed with MCL, I pretty much read just about everything I could get my hands on, I attended various conferences, and I talked to anyone who would listen. One of the most important lessons I learned, and which I've mentioned numerous times before was No one cares more about you than you. But in addition to that, I learned to fear the drug Doxorubicin , AKA Adriamycin, Doxil, Hydroxydoxorubicin, or more affectionately the Red Devil. Besides being a deadly chemical, as is the case with most chemotherapy drugs, it is one of the few chemotherapy drugs known to cause permanent heart damage. I even heard Dr. Sandra Horning , a noted Stanford lymphoma specialist, state at the first lymphoma conference I attended in LA, there was no evidence Doxorubicin provided any added benefit to chemotherapy protocols. This was music to my ears, since Doxorubicin is very common in most lymphoma treatment protocols. And even though Dr. Horning has since changed her tune [which my sk...

You can't make this shit up. Really!

We had been planning to see a taping of Undateable Live for a few weeks now, and we actually made it there tonight, but on the way something awful happened. A terrorist attack in Paris. Now it might seem heartless of me to be thinking about my misfortune, having to wait over 2 hours for our driver ( the show was cancelled) ), to pick us up, when so many others are suffering an unimaginable fate, but it is what it is. If nothing else, this few hours has provided a lot of time to think [blog], what might have been, if it weren't for the likes of Republicans, and the spawning of the two individuals I blame most for the state of the world today, George W Bush, and Dick Cheney. Those two, in only 8 short years, managed to do more to destabilize the world, creating the chaos there is today, than anyone could have ever imagined. (What Saddam Hussein must be thinking now.) If anyone deserves blame for the carnage in Paris today, it is George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, and they should b...
