Now, I’m Down in It

Starting this blog with Lyrics from one of my favorite Nine Inch Nails songs. Ah you’re surprised I can even name a NIN song, but actually, I can sing whole albums. I’ve seen them twice, once from the second row of a mosh pit (try keeping that a secret, being Wendy Chioji and all), and…

A Bit of Reality, then things got unBELIZEable (and now, I can’t Belize it, but I’m in the hospital)

“Well, your disease is stable. In a couple of places, we could say there’s a small amount of shrinkage.” Everyone stares at everyone until I say, “Well, that complicates things doesn’t it?” I’d added on one more month of the CRLX101 trial, just to keep that option open after my last CT scan showed growth,…
