How many more treatments do you have to undergo? I hope not many.

Even though there may be no detectable tumor, experience has shown that there are still evil cells lurking. You have to stomp them when they're down to get a cure. (Liberals may prefer to think of them as disadvantaged cells with deprived childhoods, but the same considerations apply.)

another bizarre comment by roger

Thank you for noticing, Ali, but I was just trying to rally our host's fighting spirit via his known aversion to bleeding-heart sentimentality and unnecessary compromise. If it came out bizarre, I can only note that some are born bizarre, some achieve bizarreness and some have bizarreness thrust upon them.

I surely hope you'll get over it. Good luck anyway.

Almost there, and I like Roger's comments. They do play to me instincts.
