“I am alright !!”
… that is what he will say if you ask him. He has been called many things during his 93 years, Neilou, Rene, Neilou Da, Master, Bapi, Dada, Daddy, Jethu, Kaku, Mama, sick being one that he never wants to acknowledge, But he is. And he wants to remove that association, so he is planning to score big in extra time.
He has many many fans and this is for y’all to keep up with his progress as his treatment progresses.
Merry Christmas !!

Neilou’s been through seven days of chemo now and today will be his eighth. He’s starting to feel a bit better, though he’s still not as strong or hungry as he was before. The doctors are keeping a close eye on him and will adjust the dosage as he gets stronger.
