Phil keeps going and going and going........

It has been over a month since an update. As you know, the last MRI was a huge success with 50% reduction after 90 days and here is a picture for you. The picture on the left shows two nasty tumors. The one on the right shows the tumors have significantly decreased. No doubt, it will all be gone on the next MRI.

Phil is at 175 lbs and blood pressure is superb at  113/77. Many have noticed or commented that Phil looks thinner. Well, here is an inside look on why:

1. He continues his running schedule with Morris, Gary and Brian. He ran a 1/2 marathon distance in May. Weather is getting a bit hot for him so he started cycling also. Typical Brit, prefers overcast and 65.

2. Easy cycling days for him would be 40 miles on the Greenway with David Cohen. The tougher cycling days he is out with Tom Howard and John Anderson riding 3 Gap. To put that in perspective, he was only walking Saw Tooth with Jimmy after recovery a few months ago. Many days he runs in the morning and bikes in the afternoon.

3. Continues with the Ketogenic Diet, Budwig Diet, Cannabis Oil, and Chemo. Yes, he still measures every single morsel.

4. Since he is retired, I now have a Honey-Do List. Phil has painted the living room and now on to the music room this week. He has rearranged all of the furniture. Looks like a new house.

5. He fixed the Harley.

6. No stress.

7. Viewing hours of soccer on TV surely helps. Supporting Hereford with bobble hat-compliments of Adam Darroll from England - thank you!

I returned to work full time back in May - I love my coffee delivery every morning as I get ready. We are back to concerts, movies and restaurants. We do google the menu first to see what he can eat. No, I do not follow his diet. Oh, I should. I tried it for about an hour. That was long enough. I support him in other ways.

We celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary in June. There is no point in putting our lives on pause for anything. We are back to living a normal life. Phil is looking at new motorbikes and I threw myself into work, like always.  Anything can happen, any time, to any of us. So, Live It! Plus, Phil is in the best shape he has ever been in and feels great. Thank you for the continued support, visits, thoughts, emails, texts, and prayers. One more thing, we have come across 3 other locals that were diagnosed with GBM several YEARS ago. All of them have their own routine and have continued LIVING.  Life is good! I have said numerous times but will say it again, Phil is a true inspiration and not only my hero, but a hero to many others. His hair is slowly growing back.

Back at Espresso's for Sunday breakfast

Ken Mallet in London - nice!!!!
