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

Wow! Praise the Lord.  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.

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.
