Living as an ETA 11.8.25
I'm on the road to recovery after a successful Y90 liver embolization procedure on 10.31 in Denver. The surgery was a success, and I've overcome the toughest part. By cutting off blood supply and delivering radiation, the medical team targeted the largest tumor in my liver.
Full recovery takes a few weeks. I underwent a similar procedure last year, a splenic embolization, which helped increase my platelet count by reducing spleen function. Although the recovery was challenging, it was effective.
My next procedure is scheduled for 12.16 in Denver, a bland embolization that will target the remaining liver tumors. This procedure will be less intensive than the Y90.
As someone who's been healthy most of my life, navigating cancer treatments, managing side effects, and combating fatigue has been a new experience. Since my diagnosis in 9.22, I've lost 20lbs, from 195lbs to 175lbs, but I'm still within a healthy BMI range.
I'm adapting to the changes in my body. My suits no longer fit, so I've ordered a new one from https://proelvisjumpsuits.com/ and plan to order another in the coming months.
I own six suits, each costing between $1000-$2000 each including belts and boots.
I don’t how long I can keep doing this, but sometimes we do things without perfect circumstances.
I taught for 25 years, and picked up this Elvis hat 10-12 years into teaching, and developed a great
Part time income that allowed me to retire and work my entertainment business.
I assume I can do this for a few more years but the time will come to hang up my boots.
But that day is not today. I’m still marketing what I do and I get 100s of leads for Elvis and other, and I get referrals from previous gigs. Surprisingly I’m still able to pull off a great show and make people happy. I don’t try to get all those leads; I’ve learned the right leads and bookings come to me. I don’t try to make it happen anymore.
Thank you for following me on this journey. Thank ya very much
One day at a time
