On top of a grey handspun and handknit shawl sits a black Tony Dixson Irish whistle. To the left of that is a mini version of the Sting shortsword that Bilbo Baggins carried in the book and movies. To the right of the whistle is the daggers sheath. It has additional metal ornamentation than was seen in the movie. The blade and the sheath both have elvish script on them. The wool shawl was spun by me and knit by my daughter.

Combining darolutamide with ADT is like Turgon’s Gates of Gondolin from The Silmarillion—layers of stone, iron, and bronze working together to shield the city from Morgoth. This synergy mirrors how these therapies form a strong defense against prostate cancer. 🏰⚒️ #LOTRNerd #OncologyWithPurpose

2/2: In Middle-earth terms, skipping lymph node removal is like Frodo deciding not to carry Sam’s pots and pans from Ithilien to Mount Doom. He realizes that every unnecessary burden—even one as beloved as Sam’s cooking gear—could slow the journey. 🏔️🗡️ #LOTRNerd #OncologyWithPurpose
