There are many top-notch researchers in the JFKA community, and Speer is certainly one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Mellor Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Anyone have any update on Pat's cancer treatment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Gallaway Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Well Pat's posted this. How are you doing Pat? How is your recovery going? Great interview! Interesting to hear about your unique JFKA journey, and I've always wanted to hear about your encounters with hard core JFKA "experts" or in some cases dogmatists.

Great interview! Interesting to hear about your unique JFKA journey, and I've always wanted to hear about your encounters with hard core JFKA "experts" or in some cases dogmatists. Thanks for asking, Kirk. I'm on my fourth hospital stay since March, this one lasting 23 days (so far). I'm 19 days post-stem cell transplant, which means the chemo is starting to wear off. They assured me before this visit that I would get terrible diarrhea and lose all my hair. They were right on the first part but I have managed to hold on to wisps of hair on my head and about half a beard. If all goes well--no more gout flare-ups, no more rashes, no mouth sores, etc--I may go home this weekend. But that won't be the end of it. I'm supposed to stay in a bubble--with very little outside contact--for the first 100 days or so after transplant. So, going back to the Covid shutdown, I will have been in a bubble for 22 months or so--longer than many prison sentences. (For those interested in a more detailed description of my prison/hospital stay, I have added a blog at the top of the home page at patspeer.com) Regards, Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James DiEugenio Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Geez Pat. I did not know it was that bad. Someone hinted at it, I think Matt D, but not to this extent. My best wishes for your recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Mitcham Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Best of Luck, Pat. The treatment takes a terrible toll, but will be worth it in the end. Hope all goes well for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Schwartz Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Pat, I, too, am a member of the club that nobody wants to join - the cancer club. I was diagnosed in 2017 with Stage 4 bladder cancer . I underwent 6 cycles of chemo ( cisplatin/ gemz.) and then had major surgery. Today, I have no cancer. But, I have to be checked annually to see if the cancer reoccurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
