I returned from my Oncologist appointment today and I was informed that I am on the threshold of remission with a 1.8 protein count. The Oncologist told me that many people have a 1 protein count and it means nothing.

On Thursday I start a 7 day rest period and then start on  21 days of treatment that will be my 12th and final treatment if all goes well.

Hopefully I do not stumble.

Kenn - Just wanted to say I've sat in awe of how well you've handled your situation over the past...... how ever long it's been. You have become the example of what we all need to be when confronted with some of life's hard choices.

Thanks

Thank you and this will be a special Christmas because it has already arrived for me.

As for the choices they were not hard to make with the choices being one of the two and I have many things I still want to do in life so it was fight or give up. This also buys me more time for them to find a cure.

I also have to give a lot of credit to my wife in backing me on each decision and keeping me on the right path. She has been great as there were times when I was real hard to get along with and she did what has to be done to keep me going.
