Nice jumps David!

I wish we got to sail in front of a crowd on a beautiful seaside walkway like in whiterock, where bikini clad babes casually walk by and you can grab a burger and a beer mid-session or while you de-rig! Our spots are so remote, or if they aren't, still freezing cold even in summer (like Cook street).

Hi guys!

It was a while since my last report but here it is.
Again not much to report :D just finished my 3rd chemo cycle. Besides from getting dizzy when I stand up and me getting exercises every day ( not easy ) there's nothing to report. My life goes on as predicted :D

That's all my news.

Cheers
Andrei

Andrei:

Thanks for update! :D Always nice to hear how you are doing - particularly when it is good news! :D

:?: Have they given you a 'prediction' on when you will be able to resume your 'normal' activities (windsurfing)? :wink: :D

Fantastic news, RD! Good thing we'll probably see you March, my WTOY stickers keep falling off (I never remember to do it where I can get the salt off properly) :lol: Can't wait to see you out there again !!

Hi guys!

Looks like my March prognosis was a little premature.

A couple of days ago 12 oncologists (!!!) were trying to decide what they were seeing in my last MRI, they could not. So they decided that I need another operation. I am seeing my surgeon next Tue and by the way he works I can tell that I will be cut open and stitched back together by the end of next week or may be just a little later. If it's dead tissue then I win, if it's cancer then I win even more :D ! My vacation is getting longer, which sucks, and my on the water time is moving at least 6 month away which sucks even more, the only calming thought is that I am moving through the treatment which is good.

That's my news.
Cheers

Andrey

we're pulling for you, RD
