    An Update for My Friends

    Hi Everybody!

    Erin Payne Checking in, you may remember me from my roles in Sterling built me a Big Al, and Everybody on this forum is my hero, for helping me out in my time of need.

    Now that i have confused most of you.. its update time.

    Last time i posted i had just finished up 7 weeks of radiation therapy. Well after the 3 month wait for the results of the treatment i was basically told it did nothing.. and the next step is Chemotherapy.

    So i started the chemotherapy a week ago and so far i have only had 2 really bad nights. Its not fun.. but hopefully this will do something. This type of chemo has 21 days of treatment, then 7 days off, and cycles twice. If it works, they say i can continue this treatment for up to a year, and hopefully wipe this cancer out. I'm hoping for the best, but after the first round failed not feeling very optimistic.

    So tonight at 10:30 in Pittsburgh at the Club Cafe, i am playing my last show with my band. At least until i have a better idea of where i am healthwise.
    If any of you are in Pittsburgh, come on down. and let me buy you a beer.

    Everyone here has been a godsend for me, and i think about the goodness of everyone here often. If i left out anything you would like to know, ask i'm an open book.

    I wish you the best of luck with the chemo. A good positive attitude is one of the best weapons with this disease. I am sorry you will be side lined from music, but get your rest and keep your nutrition up and I am sure you will be back on stage in no time.

    Thanks for the update and please keep us informed.
    You can never have too many balls!

    Have a great show. You must swing your bass around you, and prove it by showing pics. Hope this link adds a little hope for you, I just saw it. Possible cancer cure found in blushwood shrub | The Courier-Mail
