I was diagnosed with stage 4 Renal Cell Carcinoma in early November. Since then my life has been turned on it's head. Here is my story, a place for friends and family to comment, and a way for me to help organize my own thoughts.

First Day at Moffitt
Perched up on the 14th floor, looking off into Golden Gate Park, awoke 7 different times last night, met 7 different doctors, cute nurses, and people who get off from stabbing me with needles. Woke up and had a great surprise visit from Phuong last night. It was wonderful to have two of my favorite people sleeping by my side last night. Trying a new pain med today per the medication girl's recommendations. Today, I'm being monitored for pain control, have about 1,000 wires hooked up to me. Strangely enough, the hospital seems a little slower and seems to shut down more or less on the weekends. The parents came by and told me that work colleagues would be coming to visit. Had visits from my boss' boss Gideon and my current project manager Christian. Guillaume and Tatiana made the drive from the South Bay to visit also. Got to catch up on how Microsoft's been doing without me. Apparently, without me, everything's just shut down at Microsoft. Pizza party tonight. Got the Pico projector set up, speakers plugged in, movie ready (a possibility: Inception), all ready to go -- friends and family here. There is a beautiful sunset tonight. Friends and family, new pain meds and a pizza party. Things are better today.
