Hi Dean! Thanks for the prayers -- they're working! I had a setback in early January; chemo caused a life-threatening pulmonary embolism that landed me back in the hospital for three days. They suspended chemo until they got the clotting under control and until my condition improved. About 3 weeks ago coughing stopped and my energy level increased, so they resumed chemo. My 6th round of infusions (out of 8) took place two weeks ago. My 7th started yesterday (and will end tomorrow). No major side effects, thank the Lord. Am not back to 100% yet, but I hope to get there after the last round of infusions in mid-March. However, in the meantime, I have to get another MRI so that the doctors can start to figure out what is going on in my left pelvis, where they found a hot spot last year. Two out of three doctors think it's cancer; another thinks it's arthritis. We shall see.
Hope everything is going well for you, your family, and Gateway.
Cheers,
Rich
