For what I read, it's only the second session of chemo after a successful removal of a 1 Kg malignant mass. It's my impression (Not a MD) that it's the usual first session, probably he will have two maybe three sessions. He will need medical weed to resist the chemo probably.
Good luck John, my prayers are with you. -------------

Hope he'll pull through. His tenure in King Crimson's one of the finest streaks of creative genius in rock history, and it'll be sad to lose one of the prog-rock movement's greatest bass players. ------------- "The past is not some static being, it is not a previous present, nor a present that has passed away; the past has its own dynamic being which is constantly renewed and renewing." - Claire Colebrook |
