Rob’s had eight radiation treatments and he’ll start chemo a week from today, unless they change the schedule again, smile.

So now I guess we can call you grossly unremarkable. smile. I guess if it wasn’t grossly unremarkable, there would be remarks about what was wrong. So, yay! God is good and time is on your side bro. Not such good news for our friend Rob, though. He’s had three radiation treatments and his first chemo therapy today from what Marcia told me this weekend. Take care and know that I’m really glad to hear this grossly unremarkable condition. Vickie rolison From: Mark Martin Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2014 8:38 PM To: MSB Subject: [msb-alumni] Medical Update I got the results of my ct scan and chest x-ray. Other than the fact that I have a cyst on my left kidney, everything looks good internally. Whoever put this thing together has a unique perspective I must say. It reads something like this: heart grossly unremarkable, lungs grossly unremarkable, kidneys grossly unremarkable, liver grossly unremarkable and so on. You get the drift. My prostate is enlarged but I guess there shouldn’t be any real surprise with that. It seems to me that with my innards pretty much being regarded as grossly umremarkable, it almost seems as though the technicians are disappointed that they didn’t find a bunch of tumors and cancer and the like. So what I am wondering from you brains out there, is what might the opposite of grossly unremarkable be? The next thing now on the agenda for me is a second opinion from a doctor at Beaumont Hospital scheduled for June 19. If he offers the same options as I now have, those being prostate removal or radiation, then I will need to decide between the two doctors for treatment. As much as I don’t like the idea of having my prostate taken out, I don’t think I will do radiation. Thanks to all of you who have posted your kind thoughts prayers and good wishes, and as well to all your prayers and good wishes from those of you who have communicated personally as well. I will keep you all tuned in to as we move forward from this point. Mark Martin, 73.
