12-18-15 Oncology & Radiation Update

I went to the Oncologist yesterday and everything was good news. My blood work is great, my strength is back and I'm even getting some seedlings growing back on my head (only to be mowed down by this upcoming chemo/Stem Cell cycle). I'm doing so good that I'm approved to go to First Night as long as it isn't frigid.

My Oncologist won't be doing another PET scan until after I finish the stem cell chemo cycle. The reason being is that because I would be just finishing up radiation the PET scan could produce a false positive.


I finished my 3rd week of radiation today. One more week and I get to ring the bell.
















My Team Tarallo shirts should be ready by Christmas. I can't wait to see how great they look! If anyone is interested in having their own Team Tarallo Tee shirt or Hoodie, let me know and I'll get a breakdown of the price and what the minimum order is. I'm not looking to generate anything from this. I just want to you to have a shirt if you want one. SuperSportUSA.com in Malden is printing the order and they are AWESOME.






I ordered my Singing Bowl this week. I got a Antique Thadobati Singing Bowl with deep harmony and complexity #3553. It sounds great! I got it from bestsingingbowls.com if anyone is interested in getting one of their own. I'll put up a youtube video of singing bowls so you can sample some of the vibrational healing power of these bowls.

There are many types of vibration therapy one can choose from. One of the most common is the typical massage. A lot of the vibration caused by massage has little sustain and is used to stimulate the muscle and promote circulation. Remember the old karate chopping on the back and on the hamstrings. That creates a vibration that gets in deep, but doesn't resonate well. The body absorbs these vibrations more as an impact, but it is useful in relieving stubborn muscle tension.

Singing bowls can be placed on the body and activated on areas that need attention. The vibration (depending on the bowl) will smoothly resonate on that area and promote cellular activity that can reach where massage cannot. Tuning forks are also used in healing. Just like singing bowls different sound keys and frequencies  are considered to accomplish different affects. Tuning forks are usually waved around the treatment area and weighted tuning forks are usually used to directly stimulate pressure points in order to utilize their vibrational power along the meridians or concentrate on a single point. The body is able to absorb these vibrations in a soothing therapeutic manor because it is  not causing trauma through impact.

I am happy to share this with you because I know that someone, somewhere is searching for an alternative therapy to help heal themselves or someone they love, just like I did. 

Thanks for reading.

12-8-15 Radiation Update

Hi Everyone,

I finished my first week of radiation and I'm into week 2. Everything is going smooth and according to plan. I haven't felt any side effects and they don't expect me to, but it does all depend on my body's strength to manage the side effects like nausea, and diarrhea.

This is a picture of the TrueBeam Radiation machine that they use to treat the remaining tumor.

The TrueBeam rotates around me and stops at certain points to radiate me. During the radiation mapping I got 3 ballpoint pen size tattoos that would be used to align the machine up.

Of course I had to take a shot posing with such an amazing machine. Radiation ends on 12-28-15 and I'll find out when my next PET scan is that will determine the results of the radiation. Next up is Stem Cell Chemo cycle 4 in Jan 2016.
