Where have you been Jim?!

September 2013 was my last posting! Amazing how time flies when you’re battling prostate cancer! Yep … the adventure of my life and it’s going better than I would have hoped. Determined to avoid any of the intrusive horrors; I’m using many of the natural cancer fighting modalities. Tons of powerful nutraceuticals and supplements, fresh veggie and wheatgrass juices, meditation, exercise, month by month hormone injections (the least intrusive of the ‘effective’ mainstream tools)  and a secret weapon!

Hey I just thought of a cool way to mark my progress. What better than Beethoven’s answer to being healed!

His string quartet #15 –  Heiliger Danksgesang eines Genesenen an die Gottheit-Neue Kraft fuehlend

translated: “A Convalescent’s Holy Song of Thanksgiving to the Divinity, in the Lydian Mode”

Like all of his late string quartets this is a ripper! (Aussie slang for good stuff)
