Thanks all. The scan results are… good! There were 3 nodules back in early April: 11, 4, and 6mm. The 4 and 6mm are now gone, at least to the extent a CT can see it. The 11mm was classified as “stable.” Since the treatments started 6+ weeks after the previous scan, I’m thinking it had gotten larger in that time, so the current “stable” is actually a reduction in size. Regardless, the doctor was quite happy with the results, which indicate that the treatments are working. I need to keep in mind that “working” means somewhere between “managing” and “reducing” but most likely not “completely eliminating.” I’m not sure they’ll ever give me that status. And I’ll have fear every time I get a scan. But for now, I am not on the “6 months to live” list. I did have a very low white blood cell count, so they are skipping chemo this round (tomorrow) and just doing the immunotherapy. In three weeks we’ll go back to both, as it appears to be working. It’s typical to remember the bad news and forget the good, and I’ve certainly had small victories in this journey, but I think this is the first major good news I’ve gotten.

Axe Elf's commentary on every player, listed by RTSports ADP. Round One 1.04 Christian McCaffrey Æ™ Rating: Overrated The chances of the consensus #1 pick finishing the season as the #1 performer are pretty slim. It would be hard not to take CMC among the top 3 players off the board, but Henry and Zeke are both more likely to return #1 overall performance. 2.08 Dalvin Cook Æ™ Rating: Overrated With a 17 game season this year, Cook owners will be without him for an extra week, once he makes his perennial early exit, stiffing his owners for their playoff run. For as long as he's healthy, he's an advantage--but you can't count on him to be around at the end of the year. 3.85 Alvin Kamara Æ™ Rating: About Right 4th overall is kind of a toss-up between Cook and Kamara--do you risk the early exit, or the Breesless offense? But you should definitely be thinking about Kamara by the 5th overall pick, so an ADP of 4ish is About Right. 4.74 Derrick Henry Æ™ Rating: Underrated Henry has the best chance of being the fantasy world's #1 performer this season, and as such, he deserves to be the overall #1 pick. Getting him any later than that is stealing. 5.79 Ezekiel Elliott Æ™ Rating: Underrated By the same token, the player with the second-highest chance of being the fantasy world's #1 performer this season should be taken among the first three picks. If you can get him with the sixth, that's a win. 5.91 Saquon Barkley Æ™ Rating: About Right Even with the threat of Barkley being less than 100% to start the season, he's more likely to be around for your team in the playoffs than say Dalvin Cook (though less likely than Henry or Zeke). Barkley, Kelce, Hill... after the top 5 RBs are off the board, it's really just a question of which position you want to start with--RB, WR, or TE? I would recommend the RB, due to positional scarcity and the fact that Barkley can still perform as an elite RB down the playoff stretch--but if you're not comfortable with Barkley at 6th overall, 7th really isn't much of a reach at all, and I'm not sure who else you would be considering by the 8th overall pick. 6.40 Jonathan Taylor Æ™ Rating: Bust Jonathan Taylor attended Wisconsin, and it's a good rule of thumb to consider all Wisconsin RBs to be detritus. But in case you still don't understand why Taylor cannot possibly return greater than RB2 performance this year, consider that he is competing with a two-time 1000 yard rusher (Mack) returning to share the backfield duties with him this year on 1st and 2nd down (with 3rd down and passing situations already owned by Nyheim Hines). And if you STILL think Taylor will continue the eye-popping stats he put up at the end of last year, then I guess you think that the Colts will get to play teams who have given up (Las Vegas, Houston, Jacksonville) every week, like they did when he was putting up those eye-popping stats at the end of last year. (Unfortunately, the Colts' first three opponents are Seattle, the Rams and Tennessee.) 8.53 Travis Kelce Æ™ Rating: Overrated I'm sorry, but Round 1 is just too early to be taking a TE--not so much because you don't gain an advantage at that one position, but because you lose an advantage at EVERY OTHER ONE of your starting positions. Your RB1 is now an RB2, relative to everyone else's. Your WR1 is now a WR2, relative to everyone else's. Your RB2 and WR2 and WR3 are now comparable to everyone else's RB3s and WR3s and WR4s. Maybe you get lucky and find a few undervalued gems later in the draft--but you're going to have to do that three or four times to regain the edge you lost by using your first pick on a TE (especially one who finished the 2019 season tied with Foster Moreau with five [5] receiving TDs). 9.87 Tyreek Hill Æ™ Rating: About Right Hill should be considered the top WR prospect this season, and should definitely be an option for anyone drafting in the back half of the first round, assuming the half-dozen RBs who are worthy of being picked in the front half of the first round are gone. I would definitely take him over any of the remaining RBs with a 1st-round ADP and be satisfied with Aaron Jones, Najee Harris or Joe Mixon in the 2nd. 11.86 Nick Chubb Æ™ Rating: Overrated I would have a hard time investing a 1st round pick into a committee-based RB, despite Chubb's history of good performances in tandem with Hunt. Still, I think his good performances are being a little overrated. Chubb's average finish among RBs in his 3 year career is 12th, with a high of 8th in 2019--and here he is being drafted as the 8th RB off the board (and that's counting Jonathan Taylor, so really 7th). So he's basically being drafted to match his career best season, but if he loses a couple of his 12 TDs to OBJ's return or something, he could drop out of the top 15 pretty quickly. 12.83 Austin Ekeler Æ™ Rating: About Right When I say About Right, I mean his ADP of the 13th overall pick (high in the 2nd round) not as the 11th-highest ADP (low in the first round). I'm a little wary of him even at 13, but by 14 or 15 I'd be fairly comfortable, assuming that Aaron Jones and Joe Mixon have already been taken--so I'll say 13 is About Right. I'm not sure that Ekeler (and the running game in general) will have as large of a role in the offense as in previous seasons--but the Chargers' offense in general should put Ekeler in a position to score on the reg. 13.55 Cam Akers Æ™ Rating: Overrated This guy just doesn't have the resume or track record to be considered a first round pick yet. He scored 2 TDs in the regular season as a rookie, and had 1 game with double-digit fantasy points before December. Maybe this is his breakout year, but I'd let someone else be the guinea pig, as you could do much better with Aaron Jones or Joe Mixon here. Besides, he seems like the most likely first round pick to tear his Achilles or something. (Yeah, I started writing this last night.) Stay tuned for Round Two...

lets start with 2

The Blues Brothers. No really

This.

Trump won all 50 states

Don’t remember if I’ve ever told this story. I got into fantasy football and kept losing. One of the guys that worked for me won constantly kept winning. He said he had a secret weapon but never elaborated. Went into his/my computer and found FFT. I started winning. A year or two later I found the geek club. Spending hours here to pass the time whilst answering the phone instead of being in the field. Honed in my story telling and English and loved the banter. Made a few friends and did some stupid sh!t to draw attention to myself. I was part of the group. And I enjoyed it. Went on a 7 day cruise and no access to the internet for that time. What did I miss the most, you fawking family! I couldn’t have gotten through some of the things I went through without the club. I used to laugh and think of the line in Caddyshak, “Don’t you people have homes!!!” This is home.

Cause you just might learn something ?

@TJ_Booker Poor guy needs some action. Plus it would make Gloria jealous. He'd hafta spring for dinner though. And not some Golden Corral sh!t. I ain't no cheap ass ho.

Game, set, match!

Sure is, that’s why thousands do it every year

There are actually fools out there that think Mars or the Moon are good places to go. Cause, you know, they are so habitable now.

Smiley dawg!

If they filed taxes in 2020 and have dependent children regardless if they net pay in or not.

Good thing they play the games and just don't go off what you "have"...

Treatment #4 is Thursday, but tomorrow is the scan to show how things are going. Hoping to sleep OK tonight. Been hella busy with the house stuff. I’m sure I mentioned we sold ours, busy packing and purging for movers next Monday. We do have another week before closing and a decent size storage space, so as long as they get the furniture we can get any remaining boxes. The newer info is we bought a house this past Monday. It is in exactly the perfect location, in fact so perfect we never thought we’d get something there. We love to hike the mountain by us and it is literally two houses down from an entrance to that same preserve, and close to a bunch of trails we like (today we are basically by one trail and drive to others). It doesn’t sound like it; it is a downsize, about 60% of our current size (and price). Close is 8/19. Anyway, that’s just stuff. Wish me luck with the scan.

You know what ole Jack Burton does in a time like this? Buy more.

They're laughing at us. I'm sure Putin quakes in his boots thinking about dealing with Joe

Juju isn’t that good. Big difference
