Change of Plans

Diablo is out. I am returning once again to LA to see my cousin who has ovarian cancer. The news I've been receiving in bits and pieces over the mere last 2 weeks since I was there last has changed from bad to worse. Call it naive, but I just don't believe it yet. I found out she is now on some serious pain med, delautid which from what I have read so far can make you look worse than you really are. But then again, why put her on delautid unless it was absolutely necessary? Maybe. There is a serious case of over-medication in our society so I guess I need to see for myself before I put her on any death sentence which the doctors' already have. She looked soo good several weeks ago. I mean really good. There's hope yet. I refuse to say otherwise.

Geesh. I hope things work out well for everyone - especially her! When you coming down here? I'll be in Big Bear running this weekend. if you remember you went with me to that race last year when you came to visit for happier reasons...

We'll miss you at Diablo, but take care of your family. Best wishes to your cousin. My thoughts are with you.

Thanks guys. I am still hoping for something. We are going to try Cesium Therapy next. It's to balance out the ph in the body to make the environment not so friendly to cancer cells. Worth a shot and has had a good number of positive case studies.

Happy running to all of you.
