The following policies should be taken into consideration before commenting:
I had a PET (PSMA) scan on Tuesday 8th August and it shows a lot more cancer has spread through the bones than the previous (less accurate) cat scans had shown.
The PET scan has only been available for just over a year here in the US and gives much more accuracy on where the prostate cancer cells have spread.
I met with Professor Wang at UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill yesterday and I was given two choices of treatment.
The first was not to have any more treatments, the reason being that my health has been significantly weakened by the last two failed treatments since last November – they were radium 223 and a second chemotherapy.
My lungs have been scarred and my heart is deteriorating with the stress of the treatments.
Professor Wang would allow me to have the newly approved FDA PSMA treatment, but I wouldn’t be strong enough to have any more treatments after that, and that treatment would need to start within weeks.
So that’s the situation for right now – I am leaning towards giving the PSMA treatment my best shot.
Again, many thanks for all your support on this through the years.
It is as it is - and (yet) another challenge in life.
I am at peace with the situation.

Comment #1Hello Fans,
This is your favourite marionette manager here. I am greatly impressed with my centrally placed image on this site (although in real life I am much better looking as my head isn’t quite so stretched) , so I decided to favour you with the occasional unofficial word of wisdom between the chores I have to do for Mr Ashley and Mr Llambias to pay off my, err, to earn my keep.
Oops, here comes the boss, must look busy. TTFN, see you all later.

PS: sorry about last night, but you know how it is against the top sides. I’ll be much better next season ’cause I am actually pretty good at the old Div. 2 stuff and we’ll win lots more games, well some of them anyway. But nil desperandum & all that, we aren’t down yet. I am currently trying to work out how many 0-0 draws it will take to stay up and will also be asking FIFA whether it will grant us dispensation to field 2 keepers given the currenty situation.

Your head looks a bit stretched just because you just had it sqeezed in between Ashley´s ass-crack. 🙂
