Door Number Three

As told in my first blog post, the docs gave me three treatment options after the diagnostic dust settled on Stage IIIc. I chose “Door Number Three”, the clinical trial option, and thanks to Jimmy Buffett have a great old song to put the experience to music. With best wishes to everyone currently facing this difficult decision...

Oh I took a wrong turn, it was a fright turn
My turn to have me a ball
Docs in my town told me what was around
If I wanted to play for it all
I didn't know I'd find cures so nearly to me
My whole world lies waiting behind door number three

I chose my physician, knew my condition
And they showed me to the very first room
I held a big sign that said "Cure me I'm a patient,
and Doctor I sure feel the gloom"
Then I grabbed that doctor by his coat
Until he checked on me
Cause my whole world lies waiting behind door number three

And I don't want what FDA's got on its table
Or the drug local doctors point to as the norm
No, I'll hold out just as long as I am able
Until I can unlock that lucky door
Well, it's no big deal to most folks
But it's everything to me
Cause my whole world lies waiting behind door number three

Oh Doctor, Doctor, Doctor, I am hoping for your trial
God be, I won my seat but it’s still not time to smile
Oh I really got sick got hit by a brick
I'll survive just wait and see
Cause my whole world lies waiting behind door number three
Yes my whole world lies waiting behind door number three
