State of the Ape V

We went to my oncologist this morning.

To quote the Bride, "remission" is a beautiful word.

I also went for a CAT scan. From the results:

The previously seen innumerable small bilateral pulmonary nodules are no longer identified with improved pleural nodularity on the right. These findings are most consistent with a favorable response to treatment.
Widespread sclerotic lesions throughout the visualized bones, increased in density since prior study, which may reflect treated osseous metastases.

Thanks yet again for your prayers.

State of the Ape IV

Four months and a lifetime have gone by. No change, really, in my condition. The aches, etc., are still there, and the dizzy spells arrive at random.

However, I must thank everyone who’s been praying for me. I’ll know more after seeing my oncologist on the 27th, but I had more blood work done on the 23rd, and my PSA is down to (drumroll)

0.5

I got a nice review on Amazon for Odyssey to Earth. I finished the fourth Zoe story (the first four titles are Zoe Gets Her Wings, Zoe on the Rocks, The Great Bobo-Zoe Race, and Zoe and the Aardvark Hunt). Since the I’ve switched over to working on getting a mystery novel, Murder at Minstrel Manor (written several years ago, revised in early 2021) into publishable shape; after which I’ll have to do the same for the sequel There Will Be Murder Done; then finish the third and write as many more as I can.
