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
![Very Happy :D](https://cdn.bigwavedave.ca/phpBB3/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
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
That's all my news.
Cheers
Andrei

Thanks for update!
![Very Happy :D](https://cdn.bigwavedave.ca/phpBB3/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Always nice to hear how you are doing - particularly when it is good news!
![Question :?:](https://cdn.bigwavedave.ca/phpBB3/images/smilies/icon_question.gif)
Have they given you a 'prediction' on when you will be able to resume your 'normal' activities (windsurfing)?

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)
![Laughing :lol:](https://cdn.bigwavedave.ca/phpBB3/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
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
![Very Happy :D](https://cdn.bigwavedave.ca/phpBB3/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
! 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

Sorry to hear about the surgery. But once again you are rising above it with your positive outlook!

You really are an inspiration!
As others have said, you have many people sending their support your way! Keep up the fight.
