Hershey 8/19/09

We were sent home without chemo because my blood count was low and I was anemic.
The pump was removed until 9/16/09 (HOORAY). The lymph nodes appear to be getting better. The two near the throat are hardly noticeable.
More good news is that the new employer (EDS / HP) is working with me to make my appointments. Since I have only been there 9 days, I am really impressed with their attitude.

Thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers.

Peace and Love

REMISSION!!!

Holy cow! I feel abou 10 pounds lighter (which, incidentally, is not a good thing right now)

I just received the call with my biopsy results and found out that I am officially in remission.....my blast cells were less than 5% and I can officially move on to phase 2 of the treatment WHEW!!!

So we were able to take down this cancer from 97% all the way to about 3%.....not too shabby, and that 3% had better watch out.

Words cannot express how much I appreciate the love, prayers, and support from everybody reading this and everybody in my life. It has been inspirational to hear from so many loved ones that have been with me through this journey.

This was Evan's fortune cookie from lunch today: "There are 3 colors, 10 digits, and 7 notes, it's what you do with them that matters". Not sure how that applies, but it seemed really profound.

ALL will be very very well
