Good News

Good News – I have completed the chemotherapy and all the tests from my last biopsy came back cancer free!!! So now I will get tested periodically over the next few years to see if it returns. Hopefully, it’s had enough of me.

I may have to have a surgical procedure to remove a Fatty Necroses from my abdomen. The Necroses (dead tissue) is from a tumor that died from the chemo or lack of blood supply.

Fatty Necroses is going to be the name of my new band. When you see the musicians, you'll understand. The title for the first album will be Reanimation.

I want to thank everybody for their support and humor as I went through this journey. It feels good to feel good.

  5. Rick, First of all, congratulations on your good health news!!! This may seem a little wierd and is a strange way to ask you this since we do not know each other. I found your blog when I did a search for NORAD Band. I'm not sure when you were in the band, but my mom was a vocalist for the NORAD Band from 1973-75. Her name was Kay Wallace. My dad was Brad Jordan and he was in the band from 72-74. I am trying to find a recording of their music. Did you by chance know either of them?

    Again - I appologize for the rude interruption and I really am happy to read of your good news.

    Thank you, Amy Jordan Kretser
