Who Can Ask for Anything Else?!

I asked for your help and evidently I got it. Today was my doctor visit and in my mind it was a big one for me. I got everything I hoped for, and the doctor seemed very happy. We got the blood tests back and things have stabilized. He was not going to take me off my new medications; we are going to stick with them. ItÂ’s one of the most hopeful things out there, and it now seemed like it is making an impact.

Although my protein level was still high, it has begun to slow down, and he thought it would soon be under control. My blood thinner needed a little tweaking and that has been done. I went back to the lab and received transfusions of medications for my bones. In essence, I was going to stay on the same program and would not have to return to another full chemo program which I had already done three times. Each previous chemo had been very helpful, but you begin to run out of options with my cancer.

My blood pressure was high but I believe that was because of how important this visit was to me. Enough of the details and the specifics - which I have probably messed up anyway – the message was good and, to a great extent, it was good because of your continued prayers and support. I am indebted to you all – my sincere thanks.

- Frank
