Way past time for a bit of an update on myself.  On a positive note, I'm not only still very much alive and kicking but on the mend albeit slowly.  I successful completed my 6 weeks of treatment which was 6 weeks ago now.  The thing with radiation therapy is it's accumulative and the body is still radiating itself 6 weeks after the last radiation treatment.  Think of being under a heat lamp for a period of time then shutting off the lamp.  What ever is under that lamp keeps on cooking.  My type of cancer was painless so I was bloody lucky to have noticed something was amiss early and acted on it.  My troubles or issues is dealing with all the other crap that goes along with it.  Mrs M and I figure I am 5 months into a year long journey before full recovery.  PET scan is in a couple of weeks to ensure my body is cancer free.

For those of you that are curious, wait times were very minimal.  Cancer patient there is no messing around.  Drugs, outrageously expensive blood thinners, tests, treatments...all taken care of.  My biggest out of pocket expense was parking and the cancer clinic sold me a 6 week pass for the price of 4 weeks.  

Miss Helen and myself are collaborating on another shoot, hopefully this fall.  Going to be a humdinger I'd say.  

Love and miss you all!
