This is the breakthrough album that made Scholz’s non-existent band, Boston, an overnight sensation.
I caught some of this BBC podcast today, and I’m sufficiently interested to start listening from the start.
So, how am I doing, on the home stretch of cancer treatments? It’s like he said in a galaxy far, far away.
I’ve completed Day #15 of my treatments, out of 28. The final day will be September 5, the 18th anniversary of this weblog. With the toughest part yet to come in the second half, I’m going to watch a favorite video. The best of Scopitone, presented in a gorgeous, newly remastered HD transfer.
I first posted this picture of 20-year-old me and my pal Denro ten years ago. It was taken after the 1976 Falmouth Road Race. Oh, to be young again!
This was how it went yesterday, meeting with the radiology oncologist.
The high school guidance counselor warned me. She said I’d end up on drugs with a needle in my arm. 😉
The news isn’t terrible, but it isn’t good, either. Stage 1 cancer, a very rare type, but it’s curable. I’ve been told to expect radiation and chemotherapy, but to wait for the Mass General tumor review board’s recommendation. They meet on Thursday.
As I said before, I have no interest in chronicling my “cancer journey.” Therefore, I am putting this online journal on hold for the duration. A rough estimate is I’ll be quiet for at least 3-4 months. I hope to see you on the other side.
