    Another MRI is clear!

    Had my MRI done last Wednesday, and this Wednesday my radiologist and oncologist both confirmed that there was no visual signs of any tumor regrowth, to go along with my continuing to not have any of the symptoms I was experiencing prior to my July surgery last year! Still going well! I'll be getting a new shipment of Temodar pills this Friday, and will starting the fourth five day course

    Shingles, yay!

    So apparently the Chicken Pox virus that has been idle in my body ever since my early childhood caught sight of all the cancer therapy I've been doing and went "would be a shame if someone took advantage of a slight downturn in your immune system," and then I break out in Shingles on the right side of my head at age 37. They usually only START worrying about that at age 50+! What a blessed start

    AM CYBORG NAO

    Nah it's actually not as cool as that. I'm STILL alive, last MRI was clear, still no tumor related symptoms, and I've begun my second round of chemo wherein I take double or triple doses for 5 days in a row once a month for six months. The "LOLCYBORG" bit comes from a little device called Optune, which generates a Tumor Treating Field through basically all of my brain as long as it's attached and

    HAHA NO BIG DEAL

    Holy shit I got back from my post surgery checkup appointment with the surgeon.

    Surgeon: "You were pretty out of it."
    Me: "Yeah I don't remember much two days before the surgery, I figure I must've been on some good medications at the time."
    Surgeon: "Uh no, actually you were on death's door and your brain just stopped working basically."
    Me: "...OH."

I think New Years is reason enough to break the silence · 8:38am Jan 1st, 2020

(Slaps self) POSITIVITY, DAMN IT!

Anyway, Happy New Years everypony, and hopefully this next decade goes better than this last one did...

You know what? This decade went okay. In some ways it was the best decade of my life. I started it with a job, a house of my own, then I started watching MLP, found Sam's Silent Ponyville fanfic, and then started tossing ideas around my head at work until I felt like starting to write Reunion, which to this day is the single most viewed thing I've ever put onto the internet, even if it still isn't finished. My 2010s just... ended badly. Really, really badly. Maybe I just need to accept that I've needed time to recover, and maybe I can try and start again this decade. Friendship is Magic might be gone for good but that just means fandom content is now the only content, and I want to get back to providing it.

Anyway status update on projects. I have two chapters of a miniseries relatively done, just gotta get some eyes on them, give 'em a once over, and they'll be ready. But I'm wary of doing so, because that leaves a chapter unwritten, and you know how that goes with me. Ideally I'd like to get all three chapters done and post one per week for a steady three weeks of content on this account for once, but hey if I take too much longer maybe having the first part out will give me a good shove to get the last bit done. We'll see.

While I'm at it, though I feel kinda scummy advertising it here again, I do have a Twitch channel that I stream to three times a week if you ever feel like popping over there while I'm live. I'm not exactly a master twitch streamer by any stretch of the imagination, but it's nice to have something I can do steadily that gives a venue to talk to people, yaknow? https://www.twitch.tv/broadside17/

So, Happy New Years, and a belated Merry Christmas. Here's to a better 2020.
