Mark is Dealing with Boredom While Continuing Chemotherapy
Mr. Mark gave me this report. "Everyone I sees in Bangkok asks Where is your mom?" (I am in Austin working to make more money for chemo for Mark.) He goes on to say, " They look at me strangely and and ask: How are you? like they expected me to be dead already and wonder why I am still here." Mark says he is feeling better and getting out for some exercise. He took bread to a nearby park with a lake and ducks. It is On Sukhumvit, near Emporium Mall, if you know Bangkok. He has gone to look at Ferraris at a nearby dealerships. Mark rode the skytrain to a big new mall with a store selling Segways which are a platform on two wheels with a verticle column and handles. You lean back and it brakes, turn the handles to go left and right. and lean forward to go faster. Mark took it for a spin in the store with the salesgirl yelling: "slow down." Mark was trying to see how fast it would go. Mark and I have spent enough cash money for cancer treatment that if we had it all back, he could afford to buy a fancy car and a segway. The problem is that you can't use these things in Heaven so when you have cancer you spend your money to stay alive.

Mark is still cooking and has gained some weight. He claims he is the only healthy looking fat person in the cancer clinic. He is not really fat but just nicely filled out after being too thin. He could go thin again as the chemo,nausea; and vomiting keeps him going between three or four sizes of pants.

Mark reports he recently got to thinking he was so much better and stopped taking some meds including pain meds but after a few days he did not feel so good and started the meds up again. Mark asks for more licorice (red and black) as it keeps his nausea down most of the time.
