Tutoring me on my 3 tumors.

Mornin', 

My chief task today with my progressive paralysis  of my left side specifically left hand is to write this entry.
Capitalizing letters is the tricky part as the fingertip and thumb have a thing for the Ctrl-End-Alt COMBO WTF!
instead of stairs for my legs or a floor being problematic  there are keys for fingers ergo thought frustration which can detour an idea from formulating.

The following features . Fabio Iwamoto  MD, Neuro Oncologist at NIH explaining to my brother Matt and  I through pictures (I've grown familiar with) however am unable to describe to anyone else what is going on inside my head. Adverbs, Adjectives, are useless.Chemistry, Biology, inextricably linked to Math are what are required here.

For the next 4 minutes join me in my brain. with Dr. Fabio Iwamoto as our guide. Principal Investigator of
STUDY NUMBER : 09-C0222 Posted to Web 3/26/2010
STUDY TITLE: A Randomized Phase II Trial of Vandetanib (ZD6474) In Combination with Carboplatin  Versus Carboplatin Alone Followed by Vandentib Alone  in Adults with High-Grade Gliomas

Am participating with 127 others in  a randomized Phase II Trial of Vandetanib ( ZD6474) In Combination with Carboplatin Versus Carboplatin Alone.

As a Handyman/Painter whose truck was a bicycle this experience fits neatly in the perseverance paradigm.
Fixing broken things do take time, and many options will be exercised before a result satisfies parity.

My focus is Next. this Trial is just another step. and a recombinant  trainer will bring my leg function back  via my right teaching my left what to do.My brain will do my brain does and re-wire itself.My mind will help direct traffic patterns. There are those who will disdain my accomplishments as my failure is easier for them to accept. Here is where my mind begins.MOVE FORWARD, as there are those who believe that Health & Life are worth having, sharing & giving. My goal is to do whatever it takes. And my job is to get well, so that others may live.

Patient heal thyself through stem cell regenerative therapy
Specific treatments are of vital interest in healing as each of us is molecularly unique and our chemical synthesis for healing are different from dying.

Tomorrow,

Bane

Mornin,

The know-it-all, better-than-thou-istics, have been the bane of my existence.

Stereotypicism, shallow value systems, sheltered by same thinkers created a lifetime of unnecessary disability. Perfidy injured. Perdition maintained. Mind Games for some, Power Trips for others, a Real waste of Time and energy in general.

Life is not painless, it is not meant to be pain full, for anyone.

Childhood is a fixator. In utero is a begatment.

From initial contact at birth, the brain begins collecting data to be referred to in it's learning processors. Male or Female are definite pardigms for progenation. "Boys over here, Girls over there" or vice a versa, either way it is division. Hopefully one makes it to Adulthood physically, but Mentally is that a given? Nope!

Just because one becomes an Adult Physically does not mean one becomes an Adult Mentally. This thought is a consensual understanding in any bar, any elevator, any coffee house, or traffic jam. Chat rooms or Comment sections provide ample clues to ones age through vocabulary. Age reveals itself via opinion, words and content.

Content with that?

Fortunately, the Mentally Matured show up from time to time to show me how to think better.

To you I say,

Thank you for visiting

Healing Sphere Volume

For the fun of it, I did a little Thinking
Sphere Volume = 4/3 •π • r³ = ( π •d³)/6
2.9cm tumor diameter
1.45cm tumor radius
nerve/brain tissue heals at a rate of 3 mm per month
therefore
4/3 x π x 1.45 cubed=12.77005054 cm tumor volume
convert to mm = 127.7005054
divided by 3 =42.56683513 months
divided by 12=3.547236261 years
for my pre-motor cortex to fill-back in
getting it to work properly
maybe take a little while longer,
I think,
don't know
Find Out
When I get there
Enjoy,

Peter Lott Heppner



Addendum/Update March 5th, 2009

Learned yesterday March 4th, that my Pre-motor Cortex will not fill-back in but rather my brain will  redirect signals, it-my brain will do its' own learning curve.  I-me,  my mind must be the patient patient.
