Update

[PabloK]

For those who have followed me, my pc has taken a backseat to my Glio tumor. I had SBRT and Eligard for my PC in June after my 2 yr vaca and that seems to be addressed.

Since my last post, I have had brain surgery to debulk my Glio followed by radiation/chemo that all went surprisingly well - i have some SE from the surgery esp my right hand, but I am alive.

The good news is that I had an MRI last week and things looked good - so we got busy and are booking a flight in late Sept to go to rome. There are no guarantees but I do want to have at least one more espresso with my wife and family and hopefully more.

My mother went to the same Mayo with a dx of multiple myeloma back in the 90s - and outlived her dx by several decades -I'm made of the same stuff.

Today is a good day!

you know that pasta pictures are on the way. You gotta go - the food and drink are incredible - this is something like our fourth? time in Rome and each time is better. Nothing like finding the little family owned shop with plastic tables - but a pasta recipe that was brought down from their great grandfather.

That's great news! I wish you and your wife a fantastic and memorable time in Rome.

A slight change in plans - apparently the Ryder Cup is in Rome on the same weekend we are arriving so we changed and will be going to Florence for 5 days and then 2 days in Rome - best meal I have ever had was at Restauranti Del Fagioli.
