Chemo 12-21-09

As Frank Sinatra would sing 'Nice and Easy Does It"

Had the chemo with absolutely NO issues.

Only different thing is that Danny and myself were both there at the same tme. He did not have chemo, just his doctor visit that was GOOD. He will continue on tomorrow.

Sorry (or GLAD) for the somewhat boring post.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Amazing Story 12-17-09

I was in a store in Harrisburg PA called The Catholic Shop.
I was looking at auto visor clips of St Christopher, Sacred Heart etc, when an elderly lady comes up beside me, also looking at clips.
She suddenly grabs my arm, asks me for my first name and after I told her she said "I don't know what your issue is, but I will pray for you Daniel"
I then told her my and my son's issues and she hugged me and repeated that she will pray for us.

God does work in different ways.

Doctor Visit 12-16-09

We met with Dr Jiang today.
My echocardiogram was good, no signs of any heart problems.
My CTScan was also good. The growth in the esophagus is about the same, no bigger and no smaller. I guess I'll take that.
The good news was that the lymph nodes are "tiny" to quote the good doctor.
I will start the chemo regimen again on Monday. Both the direct infusion and the pills.

All in all a pretty good meeting.

Just came back from the community room at our local Giant Supermarket where the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society was meeting to plan next year's fundraising and events.
The keynote speaker was Danny and he did a GREAT job. I was crying!!!

Merry Christmas to ALL

News on Danny

Dan's doctor said today that things look GOOD. His biopsy came back clean and he is on to stage 4 of his treatment. Could not have received a better outlook. He also thanked Dan for being a great patient and being educated.

Peace & Love to ALL
