Dudes, science is amazing. I'm at the medical center for my 3rd infusion, and I just had an appointment with my oncologist. She examined me and to my amazement she measured the tumor and found it has shrank! After just 2 weeks of chemo, it is .5 cm smaller in both directions. I was not expecting any such news, and I'm just bowled over and so very grateful to science and doctors everywhere.
After today, I have 9 weeks of chemo to go. And I get vaccine dose #2 on Saturday. Amazingly, my oncologist said her patients haven't been having notable strong reactions to it, so apparently you can be immune compromised and still be just fine getting the vaccine.
Awesome!
Such awesome news!
That's tremendous. Congratulations!
This is super exciting! And thanks for the update - we're keeping you in our prayers!
Great news Pepper! I knew there had to be a reason the sun was shining just a little brighter today!
Woot!
Awesome!!!!
Delighted at this good news, Pepper.
I haven’t forgotten the lacto-ovo-inclusive vegetarian recipe exchange. I’ve been a bit under the weather, but hope that tomorrow I’ll be able to photograph my lunch so I have a image to go along with the next Nation Has an Appetite post I’ve been working on.
Ooooh, exciting!
I’m also trying to fine tune a butter tofu recipe, and awesome
News.
Thanks for the update, that is great news indeed!
Wonderful news!
Awesome news! good to hear.
Excellent!
Glad to hear, Pepper!
Jamie Garcia has a longer stint as a Twin than the European SuperLeague had as a league.
I've seen the Twins 2021 Bullpen hold a lead longer than the European Super League lasted.
After barely an hour, the pledge by the Pohlads on the Twins FB feed has 1.4K comments. No, I'm not gullible enough to go there.
Yeah, I did go there and am regretting it.
Kepler and Thielbar on the COVID IL along with Garlick and Simmons. Rooker, Blankenhorn and Luke Farrell added to 26-man and Thorpe will be the extra player for the DH today.
Buxton starts in CF tonight
Cave is so bad vs. lefties, the Twins would rather have Arraez in left and Astudillo at second base than have Cave in the OF and batting ninth.
It is a doubleheader, so that might have played into the decision as well, but still.
The first four of Garver, Donaldson, Cruz, and Buxton looks really good against a LH starter.
Kepler is the other player that tested positive that wasn't reported. Thielbar is on the IL as a close contact but hasn't tested positive, so reports earlier were accurate in number of positives.
Chauvin verdict due around 3:30 Central
Fast. No hold outs. I'm not a trial attorney much less a criminal attorney, but I'm thinking either innocent or guilty on all charges.

Yup, whatever the direction they went, they appear to have been pretty much in alignment.
