Tumor operation at 10 o'clock danish time, wish me luck.
Might be back in 1-2 days, if no complications.


09 september 2010.
Home from Hospital, lots of Biopsys, Tonsills removed, Tumor NOT removed.
The two first Tests Wednesday and friday suggested cancer, PET scan Monday showed no visible cancer, so next will be more tests at a larger hospital and either operation or raytreatment.


17 september 2010
Uni Hospital, testresults of biopsys. Only cancer in the throat.
Operatable the doctors recon :)


Operation 24 september 2010.
Wish Me Luck.

25 September 2010
Home from The Uni Hospital, the Tumor operation yesterday went okay, I'll have to get back to Hospital sometime next week for results, might be raytreatment or not, Let's Hope NOT :)


6 October 2010
In Hospital for results, operation went perfect, no abnormal cells left :)

I should now be cancer free, unfortunately I will properly have permanet nervedamage, from the top of my head to my shoulder, but that's a small price to pay for getting your life back :)

But I should know more in 10-12 weeks, when the operationdamage should be healed.

1 November 2010:
I forgot to tell :)

Used my locked up indoors time for the last 2 months well, and have finished my D.B.S. (Doctor in Biblical Studies) 8 months earlier than planned.

I'm now awaiting the final examination results of my writing project, but I feel confident :)

17 November 2010:
Got my D.B.S. Today :)

Why Me ?????
I've been ill since end of May 2012 spend weeks in hospital on several orcations. Went through "thousands" of test, they could'nt find out what was wrong !!

27 of December 2012 I got a CT scan that didnt show anything, however as a bi-product it turned out my Aortic aneurysm had grown a lot and had a bubble on it and I have to get through open surgery, with my low immune system defence and my Chronic pulmonart disease in in High-risk group with a operation survival rate of 75-80%, and if I survive the operation there is a 10-25% risk I get permanent kidney failure.

Well at least one or two things comes out of this, I have to stop smoking, motion more and eat more healty to have more survival chances.
And who knows I might not survive the 5 weeks until the operation 25th of february.

One thing is for syre, My Life, as I know it, is over. Even if I survive the operation and I don't get seriuos problems after, I have to change my life totally forever, and forever is a damn llong time :(

Weird facts:
I've allways been addicted to studies.
I've been studying and completing various educations all my life, and I've no intention to stop education, It's a great hobby.
My beliefs of Faith is very complex, both Christian and other.
I'm diagnosed as a neurotic (Social anxiety disorder)
and Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
(Physical & Digital Hording).
Retired due to bad health on government pension.
Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a result of working in solvents fumes, in a highly polluted factory environment in my youth.
Osteoarthritis (OA), and mild Epilepsy, both results of a severe motorcycle accident years back.
And I'm suffering from anterograd amnesi (difficulty of of storing shortterm memories), which can be HELL, when studying.
Fortunately with a little help of modern medication, I function absolutely fine.

Very Weird Facts:
2007: Attended 104 live koncerts.
2008: Attended 91 live koncerts.
2009: Only attended 28 live koncerts. I've had some illness this year.
When I was 14 I bought a mobile recording studio and earned a few bucks recording demos for local bands.
Once upon a time (1980) I was a drummer in a punkband.
In the 70's and 80's I composed a lot of electronic music.
When Commodore released their CDTV 1991, two CDs with 10.000 musicmodules was included.
The CDs included allmost 100 of my compositions.
September 2nd 1970 I sneaked away from home to see
Jimi Hendrix in concert, as a result my father did beat the crap out of me and broke my nose, but it was worth it.
I once got drunk with Tom Waits in Copenhagen.
Due to my membership of her fanclub I 2008 was invited by
Sarah Brightman to attend her Symphony PBS special, at the Cathedral Stephansdom in Vienna, and I got the flue. Bummer!

As a kid, I set six very modest goals for myself, things I wanted to accomplish in my life:
I wanted to release a book:
- Have done that, a poetry collection, and a couple of non-fiction.
Release a album:
- I released 5 tapes with electronic music in the 70-80's, and my punkband was on a compilation.
Be in a movie:
- I had a very small speaking part in the danish television series "En By i Provinsen".
Become a danish champion:
The latter I've still to accomplish.
1976 I won the local championship, and finished 18th in the Danish championships in Pinball.
1979 I worked as a DJ, won the preliminary round and finished 7th in the Danish Championships.
In the Army I was a Designated Marksman and came second in the Danish Championships for long-range rifle shooting.
2006 I came 6th and second best non-licensed male player in the semifinals of the danish qualifying round for the World Tenpin Bowling Championships.
In Highschool I was Danish champion in Volleyball,
but that dosent really count in my book, I wasent present for the finals, I was in hospital recovering from a motorcycle accident.
And finally I wanted to date Miss Denmark and live on a castle in Scotland.
The Miss Denmark goal I almost accomplished, my then girlfriend came second in the Miss Denmark and third in Miss Young International pageant.
And the winner (former girlfriend) CHEATED, she was the girlfriend of and later married the head judge, Claus Jespersen that sneaky playboy bastard, I haven't got a grudge, OH NO, NOT AT ALL. LOL
The castle, well I own a wee part of one,
Dunan's Castle in Glendaruel, it's ruined but has some very good fishing.

Extremely Weird Facts:
I was ordained a Pastor, not because of my Faith, but because I had to be "active working clergy" to study D.min.
I'm a Lord of Lochaber, Laird of Dunan's Castle,
and Laird of Bandrum. (Just for Fun).
My family is of Austrian/German (Albrecht)
and French/Scottish (Adams/McAdam) noble descent.
I'm the first male in my family NOT being a Freemason.
YES YES I know I'm nuts !! LOL !!
My Philosophy Always be honest.
Don't give a damn what people think about you and your lifestyle.
BE YOURSELF.
Live life as a open book, and allow people to make their own judgement, that keeps the false "friends" away, and dosent give any surprises.
What Gives Me Hope That eccentric people. like myself, these days can live in most countries in our world, without persecution.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by Free healthcare. Food and water for everyone. Extensive nature conservation. Extinsive imprisonment for hatecrimes, enviromental crimes, and crimes against children. Uncensured internet.
Freedom of religion.
What/who changed my life and why The death of my father, because I was raised in a child abusing, extremely violent home. Which has darked my mind my whole life, turning to drugs- and alcoholabuse at a young age. Fortunately I've been clean for 25 years, but the death of my father 8 years ago, finally made me free, I hope.

Secondly: 1984 I was hospitalized nearly dead, due to many years of extensive drug and alcohol abuse. Surviving I went into treatment, and have been clean ever since.
Clean and sober I ended my career as a Diplom Ingenieur. I had been studying Bachelor of Social Work, completed my studies and became a socialworker and devoted my life 24/7 for years working with kids, victims of child abuse, incest, ect. Until severe health issues unfortunately forced me into early retirement on government pension.

My deceased Soulmate (and former girlfriend):
When I retired she convinced me to start studying Religion.
I've got a regular Doctor BS, a Bachelor Religious Studies, and a Master of Art in Religion.
I've also got a PhD which looks smashing on paper, but ain't worth anything in practice, since it's awarded from a Religious-exempt not accredited Theological Seminary.
I also got a very nice honorary DD, also worth nothing more than a nice Certificate to hang on the wall.
Currently I'm widening my religious horizons by taking various
on-line courses at Religious-exempt Seminarys/universitys in Gnosticism, Paganism, Wiccanism, ect.
(I've got a very open mind).
I'm also working on my regular PhD, and my D.Min.
I'm working as a volunteer mainly as a phone counselor with a non-profit organization.
