VICTORY IN LEGINGRAD

With a feeling reminiscent of the end of World War II, the Cancer Nazis have been completely defeated at Legingrad.  Once again our own star reporter Sherry Lane broke the story which has been spreading like wildfire.  Unfortunately, his Lordship and Prince Phillip of the House of Rum and Coke may still do not know the good news since they are fishing and are incommunicado.

Earlier this week his Lordship went for three key tests a PET scan, MRI, and CT scan.  These tests were to probe the entire body and see what, if any, of the cancer still remained.  Earlier today, Mario’s oncologist, unable to reach Mario, called Nurse Sherry to tell her the good news.  Mario’s oncologist and his radiologist could not be happier with the results.  They scrutinized the test results and could not find any visible traces of cancer.  Still, to make sure there are no microscopic cancer Nazi cells hiding in an Argentine lymph node, localized radiation of the site of the former cancer tumor will be done in August.  More on the radiation treatment and the reconstruction of Legingrad in another Blog.

On a related note, the liver lesions detected early on and reported on this Blog are still there.  As reported earlier, they were not hyper vascular.  The thinking now is that these never were cancerous and are not a cause for concern. 

  For perhaps 24 months the citizen cells of Legingrad have suffered under the cruel dominion of the Cancer Nazis.    While the Cancer Nazis cells started as just a small settlement, they soon expanded, becoming a softball sized tumor which threatened all of Legingrad and perhaps even his Lordships’ life.  The Cancer Nazi cells took the best oxygenated blood leaving less for the other cells in Legingrad.  Many cells died in the Cancer Nazis conquest of Legingrad.  The once beautiful Tibial Causeway of Legingrad became their stronghold and was soon in disrepair.   Consequently there was pain in the entire leg and the foot lost nearly all sensitivity.  We think the tibial nerve cells survived but have been badly damaged. Reports of the carnage have been difficult to confirm at this time.

The Battle for Legingrad was not a pretty one.  While nearly all Cancer Nazis cells died, so to did untold millions of innocent civilian cells also perish, as the Supreme Allied Commander Red Devil and his allies waged eight poisonous chemotherapy campaigns against the Cancer Nazis.  As you can imagine, the citizen cells of  Legingrad are rejoicing. Blood, nerve, muscle, fat, bone, cartilage, and just about every other cell type is celebrating of being rid of the oppresive Nazi Cancer tumor.  For now the suffering is forgotten.  In Legingrad the mood is one of joy and hope as all types of cells dance, drink and celebrate the defeat of the Cancer Nazis.

Mr. FOG will probably celebrate a little tonight but is unsure if it will with Jim Beam or Johnnie Walker.  Perhaps both, if he paces himself.

His Lordship and Nurse Sherry already had planned a visit to the summer ancestral getaway in the Georgian Alps.  They will be joining Lady Jane, Duchess Bettina, and Birgit, the Queen Mother, for a weekend of relaxation to celebrate the Queen Mother's Diamond Jubilee.  The Dowager Empress Ulla, will be there in spirit only, deciding to stay in her Venetian Villa, which she now rarely leaves.  The victory in Legingrad will certainly add to the weekend festivities.

Thanks to all of you who prayed for Mario’s recovery.  People of many faiths have prayed for his well-being.  Sherry, Mario, and the Duffy and Artesiano families want to thank you for your prayers and well-wishes.  Maid of the Mist and Tom, the Often Wise will be celebrating the good news, and likely Ms. Merlot and Mr. Coors will be joining them.
