The path treats me well.

A couple of days into round 3 chemo, and hear's the scoop. Hair, still attached, pain, bearable with meds, fatigue, never ending, appetite, deminished, but I keep challenging it, (see Cindy for more details) and most other symptoms, not present. I am amazed at times. As I read the EC digest daily, I am encouraged. Both doctors are encouraged. The only down side so far is that we are so early into this process. Only two months since my diagnosis. Maybe it's too early, does my "better than average" acceptance and response to treatment have a postive meaning in all this. Arggggg... too much thnking. One thing is for sure. My own faith and beliefs, my upbeat and extremely optimistic attitude, slight stubborness and as Cindy puts it, my frequent ALLIEN behavior, are all a positive key to my success and only available because of YOU. Your prayers, incredible outpouring of prayers. Your support, massive offerings of support. Your love, endless streams of compasion, caring and concern. Those are the things that have given me these kind of results. I know it, Cindy knows it and my family knows it. Thank you all, you are loved! May God continue to bless all of us every day.

And now some special news for today. It is Miguel LaFont's Birthday today. Hapy Birthday to a very special young man who started college yesterday in Venezuela. Miguel you too are loved and missed. Happy Birthday!
