I'm back, at least for a while

[Ephemeral]

Hi Folks,
Update…
Not good news for the home team, got sent home from Dukewith a ‘there is nothing more we can do for you’. My cancer has metastasizedand has spread to some nymph nodes. I found a new oncologist and she has mestarted on one of these new immunotherapies. It’s a long shot, I have a 14-15%chance of living longer than 6-12 months. But no worries, feeling great right now andliving every day to its fullest. Still on dialysis and that sucks. Three days aweek for 5 hours at a time hooked to a machine that keeps me alive; after eachsession you basically feel hungover for about 24 hours. I had some customdialysis t-shirts made up...


I'll try to knock the rust off and signed up for TWDT

Eph, you are the man, good to hear from you! Was wondering what has happened with you. You are the most patient man on earth, and that has made a great influence to people around you. Wish you all the best.

I go to DaVita for dialysis; its about $3500 per week. DaVita is a $13 BILLION company who never lets patient care get in the way of their fiduciary responsibility. I put my life in the hands of dialysis techs who they hire off the street and train (no medical background). There is a tech there who has been working at DaVita for 18 years and is paid less than $30k per year. Here is a video which outlines a lot of the issues surrounding dialysis in USA and DaVita
