sits just next to where my tumor is… when it is on my shoulder it is rite where the tumor is. Has anyone heard of any other photojournalists having a brain tumor/cancer? It’s too much of a coincidence that the brain tumor/cancer is where the cameras sits. Please let me know if you have heard of this happening to any other fellow photojournalists.
As far as me I am feeling great doing good and after a recent visit to my doctors my outlook is even better. My EEG came back great! The doctor said there was no sign of seizures and that I am doing better than average. They all seem to be surprised at how well I am doing. When your doctor is surprised at how well you’re doing you know you’re doing remarkably good. I have eight sessions of radiation left then I stay on chemo for a few weeks then I am of both radiation and chemo for a few weeks before I my chemo doubles and radiation is gone forever. When the chemo doubles its only five days a month and it is still the pills so I hope I handle it well. I still can’t drive for another five months so I will need to figure out what to do with my time. I will try to work for myself and help my partners with thelaw.tv. As long as I can get a ride to wherever I need I think I’ll be okay.
Mike,
ReplyDeleteWe've never met in person, but I have known about you since the early days of my career at WINK as a photog, and also a member of b-roll.net (I am Deft Depth).
Trey always speaks very highly of you, and our mutual friend and fellow WINKster Jason respects you tremendously. That being said, I just want to let you know that you're in my thoughts as you continue your fight with cancer.
My girlfriend Maggie (also a reporter at WINK) is a cancer survivor. She is the strongest woman I've ever known, and I credit her survival largely to that. You share that same can-do attitude she had during her fight ten years ago, and I want to encourage you to be strong and keep fighting as you move forward.
As you know, WINK is like a family to those who have worked here, be it past or present. And so in that regard, brother, I keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong and keep us updated.
Yours truly,
Andy
