Cycle 3, good for me

Miles here,
The first half of my antibody cycle has been much, much better than the one before. I haven't pressed the button to receive my PCA (morphine) through IV that helps me control my pain at all. As usual, the nurses and doctors are fantastic and the support from my friends and family at home is even better!
In between cycles I've been playing football and we've had a pretty good start to our season. The team beat Souhegan Valley (Amherst) and we had a tough loss to Manchester, but we will see them again.
The Oyster River Football Program is doing a calendar raffle for the month of October. Tickets are $10 and you have 31 chances per ticket to win gift cards to local restaurants, salons, apparel retailers and cash prizes. The grand prize is $250 cash. To buy a ticket, text me at (603)923-8677 or email me at goldbergmiles@gmail.com.

Thank You, T-cells and Immunoglobulins

Eleven weeks after his right lower lung lobectomy, and with two cycles of immunotherapy in the books, Miles had his surveillance chest CT today. Result: negative.  No bad stuff seen.  No new tumor growth visible. Fantastic news for this great kid and all of us supporting him.  Positive attitude = strong immune system.

Guess who played nose tackle in the OR 7/8th grade football season opener yesterday.  Yes, number 41, Miles G, with a padded port and red cleats. And a win, to boot.  Nice work, team.

Miles appeared on the Dennis & Callahan Show, also broadcast on NESN, on August 29, to support the 2016 Jimmy Fund Telethon.  Here's the link:

Cycle 3 of 5 is about to start.  Onward.  Now get back to your homework, kids.
