March 22, 2018. Playa Royale, Mexico. Ken Update.

Ken has no infections. And he is stronger. Tonight he walked the balcony with nurse Misa by his side and me rolling the portible oxygen trailing behind. He did well. His plumbing works, so the prostate surgery was successful. Tomorrow evening we meet the surgeon to discuss options. The pathology report arrived this afternoon and the surgeon toLd us that the prostate had cancer cells. His solutions is a vaccine. Ken looked up the vaccine therapy. It is still being published. We will find out tomorrow at our meeting at 6:30. Ken is eating well thanks to Rita’s cooking. He eats everything on his plate. Right now he just asked for a piece of key lime pie, given to us by Rosa, my friend by the pool. He is still very thin. Ken has always said that prostate cancer is the disease of old men, so he is not surprised. He also said that most men die from something other than prostate cancer. So now Ken has Parkinson’s Disease along with prostate cancer. And for some reason, his oxygen saturation drops when he has any exercise. He will try to figure out why. On Monday, he has an appointment with Dr. Gregg, his Internist. And Thursday he meets with a Urologist. His saga is not over.
