Updates on Mark, a young man who was told in 2005 that he had advanced esophageal cancer with metastasis to the liver and 3 months max to live. With no insurance, limited access to health care, Mark quickly moved from Saipan (where he was working in a hospital) to Bangkok, Thailand for treatment. His esophageal tumor disappeared with radiation and chemotherapy. He had surgery to remove an unrelated kidney cancer. Unfortunately, Mark died cancer-free in 2017, of unrelated septicemia.

Today is my birthday and we celebrate by taking friends to the Marriott for dinner. Mark is successful in eating some of his steak. This is a big improvement over not being able to swallow anything but liquids when he arrived in Bangkok and presented himself to the Horizon Cancer Center at Bumrungrad Hospital. Mark has begun chemotherapy but he still has his handsome head of hair.
