Putting all my eggs in one basket (LU-177)...Leaving for Omaha very early Sunday morning and returning 10 days later.

I took a selfie on our walk this late afternoon with the dog, Sparky, as I was reflecting over the fact there’s only like four days left until we leave for Omaha for a bunch of tests And meeting with doctor Luke to see if I will qualify for the study before I take the pet scan with PSMA to find out if I will be a viable candidate. Looking forward to getting out of the south Florida heat, but it’s really cold up there this next week Lows in the 30s highs in the 50s. It’s Easter when we fly with my “full basket” of hopes for a sort of “resurrection”—

I will update soon. Happiest Easter/Passover to all🙏🏻

By now hoops are nothing new..

Have a great trip! Thank you for sharing...I’m learning from you, I’m probably only 6 months or so behind...LU177 will most likely be next for me.

greatjohn in reply to 6357axbz

Flying on this first trip, hoping to drive after that and hoping Sparky can come along but it seems hard to coordinate 😔

Carefull, Warren might just take you up on that. Of course he will want you to pay. I should know, I worked for him after he bought BNSF RR.

So glad you can get the treatment in your homecountry instead of going abroad. And after treatment maybe you can go for holidays to India, Turkey or Israel for adventure. Good luck!

We just got back from Dr. Luke’s clinic here in Omaha a couple of hours ago. Had a full two hour conference with him and my testing starts tomorrow and one of the test the PSMA test is next Tuesday. Then I’m Soshee back on the 26 to start with my first treatment with LU177. He seems amazing and so does all of his staff!!
