On other things, ongoing radiation therapy, still 4 weeks to go, 5 sessions per week, from Monday to Friday.

In addition, chemotherapy every Wednesday, but not with as massive doses as previously. TIP-treatment was real beast...

The chemotherapy drugs were given over 3 days a week for 4 weeks: paclitaxel, cisplatin and ifosfamide (with a drug called mesna). Cisplatin contains platinum, thus my market value increased considerably. :lol: :D Have to instruct relatives to shift though my ashes before scattering them. :twisted:

Hair and beard has started to grow back....very thin, almost invisible hair. I could have managed without this, got used to not to have need to shave etc. :lol: 8-)

In addition, chemotherapy every Wednesday, but not with as massive doses as previously. TIP-treatment was real beast...

The chemotherapy drugs were given over 3 days a week for 4 weeks: paclitaxel, cisplatin and ifosfamide (with a drug called mesna). Cisplatin contains platinum, thus my market value increased considerably. :lol: :D Have to instruct relatives to shift though my ashes before scattering them. :twisted:

Churchill is not going to be too happy...I'll lose Singapore way earlier than historical. And doing worse than Percival (vs. AI, no less) is quite an achievement. :lol:

Removing 8th AUS is always bit of a risk, this time got bad die rolls and main defenders in Johore Bahru (11th Indian Div and Indian brigade) surrendered. I was not expecting that! :? Singapore probably falls next turn...

Now it'll get really interesting, since my plan to defend Burma depends heavily on getting Australian divisions there...will they be able, remains to be seen. Almost all Allied units in Burma are of dubious value, especially Burmese units. I am starting to feel how Bill Slim felt defending Burma in 1942...

Port Moresby is another pain in the butt. Seems that I have to commit surface forces there, since IJN does not seem to be intimidated by A-24 Banshees at all... And running out of PT boats soon...plus need to get AGP there anyways... :evil:
