It's cooled off and I'm on the patio smoking Arango Balkan Supreme in a Hardcastle's Crown bent billiard with saddle stem. I'm drinking Dooley's 5 Y.O. Barbados Rum, and reading Lord of the Rings.

Good afternoon BoBs. Decided to cheat and sneak in a bowl of GLP Quiet Nights in a Randy Wiley freehand bent dublin. Figured if smoking for the last 15 years since my last chemo treatments did exacerbate the cancer, 1 or 2 more bowls isn't going to make much difference. And the radiology oncologist told me this afternoon the tumor was most likely caused because I am positive for HPV. ( human papiloma virus, no relation to HIV) Anyway, they are moving aggressively towards a treatment plan. Seeing the ENT Doc on Monday after which I will start radiation treatments. Every day, 5 days a week for 7 weeks. Will probably cure it but has some nasty side effects. Sore throat, loss of taste, loss of appetite, etc. Oh well, wanted to lose a bit of weight anyway, lol. Sorry for the distribution but thought you guys might want to know I'm OK with this and I will still be following my fellow BoBs. Good evening my friends. Oh, a caramel macchiato is my drink, lol.
 
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, wild caught cat fish and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm close to finishing this bowl of year 2020 C&D Virginia Flake in straight medium brown 1922-1937 Irish Free State era Peterson 222 bullcap with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Thanks for the update, Ranger. The therapy sounds pretty intense, but if I understand correctly it sounds like the doctors are optimistic. So hang in there.

Stay positive and open to alternative treatments if you don't like your doctors solution look for alternatives!

No cigarettes, don't inhale! You smoke outdoors. Minimizing your smokes should be fine!

Praying for the best for you both!
 
Passing the first third of this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Jim’s Special Flake 2023 in a straight smooth brown 1920s-30s (Comoy’s) Corinthian Sutliff San Francisco London Made 36 dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Much better photo of the pipe this time.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 1970s three quarter bend half smooth, half sandblasted Savinelli Autograph 4 military mount with a pearl brown acrylic ferrule and saddle stem. Haven't smoked this pipe in quite a while so it was time to do so.

Good morning,
Smoking a DePaja bent brandy with Capt black royal,mug of DD coffee. It`s a beautiful day here 70 degrees,no humidity and a nice breeze too. I was lucky enough to catch a tobacco sale @ P &c,I got a pound of PS #23 B&B. This is my new all day smoke. Sadly ,the last 3 tobacco`s I have gotten from Sutliff have been disappointing despite their high ratings.
