Thank you for sharing.
Also you dont bail out of a plane at 2000 ft to skydive. That is less than 1/2 mile high. You would ied very quickly. Story is not written well.
I am most pleased to hear that you seem to have beaten the big C. I'm an 11-year survivor too (Renal Cell Carcinoma, caught unusually early in my case - only cost me 1/3rd of a kidney and some scars). Were the hand/coordination symptoms you were reporting previously due to the treatment regimen, or something else?
In any case, I'm very happy to hear of your progress, but am curious about the cancelling/suspension of the study group you were part of. What phase was the study in? It certainly seems that they were doing _something_ right, even if something else was bad wrong.
Hope you're feeling much better, if not already, then soon.
