I appreciate the concern, but I am still kicking, but I did over do it last weekend. The carcinoid syndrome is where my hormone levels are at 500% of the normal levels and those hormones for whatever reason cause flushing like a women going through the change.....but about 3 times the levels, and the worst part is that it attacks the lining of the large intestine.....I will not go into details, but if you are already weak....you get weaker. Bad day today, and yesterday I simply was traveling and wanted to see the grandkids in their halloween costumes........beautiful.
I am probably going to have a pretty good week next week finding out what is ahead for me.....Monday at 1:30 I get the ECHO on the Aorta Annueryism , and 3pm talking with the surgeon and specialist. I am at 4.5 cm and because I am 6' 3", they have told me my size will allow the bubble to go to 5.5 cm......with the three tumors on the liver.....I do not think I will be a happy camper if they tell me they need to do open heart......I do not think I have a whole lot more to give.....but I will play the cards which I am given......On Friday they test my hormone levels, and I get my monthly shots.......Life is good when you see your grandkids.....even better when it is in costume.....just like retired Leo.....when the time is coming I will simply tell everyone that I will not be posting.....that time is not in the near future I hope......but I am happy with what cards I have to play.
