Hello Everyone!
A big, big, thank you to family, friends, and colleagues that continue to send prayers, strength, and support my way!
In the last few days I have gone from 6 infusions to 1!!! I am now able to take oral pills so much of the pain and issues with fluid retention have made a huge difference in how I feel.
The good thing is I don't remember all that has gone on in the last 3+ weeks.
Just wanted to let you all know I am doing well, out of the fog of the summit and headed down that trail that will get me to base camp soon!
Special thank you (with no end) to my beautiful wife and Angel Theresa, the extrodanary patience of my litte girls, the help/care of my Mama, my mother in-law Loretta, grandma Joyce, my bro Mike and his wife Mia, and my sister in-law Laura and her husband Joey! Even though I do not remember all the time you stayed by my side during these past weeks, your love and care is very much appreciated (with no ends).
God bless you all!
John
The purpose of the blog is to keep family, friends, and colleauges apprised of my Climb to the Cure of my Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndrome. My climb to the cure will involve total body irradiation, heavy duty chemotherapy, antirejection drugs, and an angel, my stem cell donor who's cells I will get on my way up the summit. God bless you all and thank you for all your love and strength in getting me through the road to this mountain!
Hello John,
ReplyDeleteWe are so glad to hear from you again. I can't even imagine how tough these past three weeks were on you and Theresa. However, I had no doubt that you will overcome. You have the strength and love of life and support of loving family and friends to prevail. The finish line is near. We are waiting for you there to celebrate this victory with you.
Best wishes,
Khalid
