    Mom starts a cutting edge clinical trial today.

    I am sitting here at The Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Midtown Manhattan. What a fine place. We had heard that Sloan was very institutional and cold, but the best place for mom's metastatic melanoma. They were absolutely wrong! Everbody here has a great warm personality. Mom will be on Interferon ( a serious spage-age immune system booster) and a promising drug called Temodar. I gave mom her first injection today - went well. I was picked from all the family members after a little contest on a dummy. I got to inject Mom's nurse as a final test. It took weeks to finally get going with treatment, but the WAR is now in full swing. There is no negativity and there is no substitute for Victory. Sweeney's fight to win! Managed to put 6 pounds on mom to ready her for battle - she'll need it! Everday I make her an Arnold Shake. When I was hardcore in to pumping Iron many moons ago, I followed Arnold's Recipe of Crash Weight Gain powder, milk, raw eggs shell and all (mom passed on this ingredient), brewer;s yeast, wheatgerm , Ice Cream. Each shake has about 1600 calories, This was in addition to her regular meals. Everyday I bless her with holy oils with a great prayer that Timmie Gave me. At least once a day, we get mom pumped up with a progressively loudrer chant: "KILL! THe Cancer! KIll The Cancer!" Motivation is one of my strong suits. She loves it and it reminds her to keep fightin'!. Thank all you guys who emailed , called , et cetera....you guys a the best. I showed mom all your posts. Thanks Boys and Arlene (my old racetrack buddy). Mad Dog

  • Our thoughts and prayers

    are with your mom as she encounters this battle Matt. I can remember her voice on the phone on the couple of occasions I had to call you. She must be a great person to be the mom of person as courteous and caring as you. I can visualize your cheers for her in my mind and that always brings a big smile to my face. Give her a big hug for me and rest assured that all of us here on the wall and other sites that you frequent are thinking of her and that our prayers are with you and your family.

    She'll Win!

    My wife was just asking me for an update last night. Glad to hear your Mom's getting the best care.

    I'm not a religous man, but I'll send a little prayer your Mom's way just in case.

    Don't really know you but,

    I agree with the others here. Sounds like you and your mom have special bond.

    In the last 2 years my mom has beat melanoma, lost half of one lung and had bypass surgery and is doing very well. It is truly amazing what they can do anymore. Add to that the obvious love and support your mom is getting and the odds are in her favor. My prayers go out to her and the rest of the family.

    Good Luck and God Bless

    Maddog, I'm new to the sight. But just the few days I've been viewing articles shows me how caring and helpful you guys are. It shows once again hearing how devoted you are to your mom. With an attitude like yours, I'm sure that all will be well. Bob
