Thunderbirds are go, regardless

Well, the Thriller wasn’t chosen for the clinical trial. It was a random selection process; they put his name in the hat and drew someone else’s. Boo.

A small setback, but I swear the man is made of titanium. He processed his disappointment, and now he’s ready to tackle the Opdivo treatment without the added experimental drugs. Today is the day — off to Cleveland this morning to begin.

We are kept afloat by all your support. A special shout goes to my sister Mavis, who has in almost every other way dropped her own life to be there for ours. That’s something you never pay back, because the cost is too high. When you look up information about someone with the spiritual gift of service, her picture is there.

And thanks to all of my fiends who subscribe to this little blog about nothing. You’re the beast! I will keep you posted on the Opdivo progress.

Much love,

#TEAMTHRILLER

    Keeping you all in my prayers. I am constantly amazing by The Thriller’s approach, but then not. I’ve never known him to shy from anything. What an inspiration both of you to the rest of us “mere mortals.” Love you both. And, the love I have for Mavis – well, that’s undeniable. Always has been. So thankful she can be there when some of us cannot.

    Keep fighting! Silly to say, but still feels important to utter.
