Just a little update: We waited an extra week for chemo, but I was finally up to it, so I had a reduced dose on Thursday. I’m just starting to get sick from it now. We’ll see how I do through next weekend, which is when the numbers usually start to tumble. My next PET scan is on Veteran’s Day, so we’ll see where I’m at and go from there. I’ve been back at school since the 17th, but moving very slowly. I couldn’t get through it without my amazing Dad taking me to all my appointments and even to and from school each day. Without the help of my parents, this all would be impossible. Dad even went on his first field trip with us Friday! We had a great time at the “Real Men Sing” men’s choral workshop at San Jose State.


Please continue to keep me in your thoughts and prayers to get through this round with no more hospitals and (hopefully minimal transfusions too) and especially for the news on this next scan Nov. 11th. I’ll keep you posted.

Please keep me in your thoughts & prayers. This morning I was so sick that I had to use an ambulance (first time, if you can believe it) in all this time. I thought it was all over for me and I was saying final goodbyes to Richard & Amanda. Very scary morning for the three of us. They took me to the ER and got me stabilized, but I have a touch of Pneumonia. I'm feeling so much better. I'm going to be in the hospital tomorrow, but I'm insisting on only that long, enough to hopefully see my pulmonologist & cardiologist and get a transfusion. Something was really wrong. I'm very thankful to be here & can't wait to get back to school. Thanks again, everyone!
