Vibes for Keith. And for competent treatment.

Thanks.

Just figured out this Tom Jones. And sorry I am slow. It’s written and directed by women and is largely told from their point of view. What happens to women with and without money.

Interesting.

I can't think of a favorite episode of The Mary Tyler Moore show.

An old mono Decca classical album I was very fond of as a kid - Copland's The Red Pony and Virgil Thomson's Acadian Songs and Dances.

While I was driving to lunch, they were playing an opera on the radio - a new-fangled opera about a boxer, with a score by Terence Blanchard. I sure enjoyed what I heard - jazzy at times, even a bit of rock, but mostly traditional opera but very tuneful.

It was at the Met. I'll see if it's on YouTube as I'd like to hear the entire thing.

bk · « **Reply #221 on:** May 27, 2023, 04:47:24 PM »

I doubt it's been recorded, at least yet.

The opera is called Champion.

That opera is based on a true story, Bruce.

Jane, I was married to a radiation oncologist for 22 years, so it was always a topic of conversation in our house.
We are still good friends.

Doing a 180. The feature now is The Strangler starring Victor Buono. Looks deliciously sordid.

I am reading an article that begins with "The Joe Biden administration has been accused of “stonewalling” a legal bid to uncover details of Prince Harry’s US visa application using Freedom of Information laws."

Really, as if this is a good reason to be angry at the Biden administration

Jane · « **Reply #229 on:** May 27, 2023, 05:14:51 PM »

A Washington-based think-tank believes it is outrageous that Harry's request to have his application fast-tracked on the grounds of exceptional public interest was turned down.

Really, people can get their applications fast tracked because the public is interested in them

The new dermatologist, whom we will not be returning to, did two biopsies on Keith's nose. Then for two weeks he heard nothing before he finally called for his results and was informed he has two different skin cancers (not melanoma). Two weeks the doctor sat with that information, not good.

She then, supposedly, sent a request to a local doctor to do Mohs. Supposedly since we have not heard from the office to set up an appointment for his Mohs surgeries.

Oh, my goodness!

Champion sounds interesting. Thanks for the link, Iris.

In the meantime Keith found a better treatment, longer process but a faster healing time with less chance of needing plastic surgery once completed. It is called IG-SRT treatment and uses low levels of radiation to kill the cancer cells. It has been around a long time. The office we are traveling to Bend for has a way to measure the cancer cells and know exactly how much of an area to treat.

Unfortunately there currently aren't any offices that do this in Portland or Vancouver. Soon, but not yet. There is one in Tacoma, however, it doesn't have the more accurate machine.

Very good news!

I did not know, or remember this. I think it is an interesting subject.

I can ask him if they'd be interested, assuming Jane and Keith want to stay out late, too.

I guess I already answered that.

Yup. And not a problem.

Jane · « **Reply #236 on:** May 27, 2023, 05:18:12 PM »

More and more offices are opening and they are training and hiring people to do this. If I were much, much younger I would be very interested in training for this job.
