Still Waiting Until October

My monthly blood tests are "stable". They are not without issues, but they are stable and Doc is still saying that we can wait until the 10/18 appointment. So, that's the plan. Going back to Phoenix during the first week of October. bye

Good News and Bad News

Hi - I'm back after a summer delay.
The blood tests continue once a month or so. At first, the rate of increase was alarming. Then it slowed, and even turned down for a month. The Doc said that it is common to oscillate a little. The good news is that he feels I can wait until October to see him, and I do not have to come back to Phoenix early. So, we are staying in Jackson, WY into September and will go back to Phx then. The bad news is that there is cancer activity, and I will have to have more Chemo soon. bye.

New Blood Test Results Not the Best....

My Cancer is a more active than we had hoped. Instead of going for a blood test every three months to monitor the levels, I have to go every month now. Doc wants to see how fast things are changing to determine when additional treatments will be needed. The next test is mid-May. Oh well!

Going Away for the Summer

Sorry for the silent period since December. That's indication of how well things are going.
I have been going for my blood tests every two months and the results so far are very good. The Doc says that the cancer is not in full remission, but the activity level is so low that treatment is not recommended at this time. In fact, we are going to change the blood test timing to every three months, and we are going to get back on our summer RV schedule. This year, we have arranged for a job in Jackson Wyoming. We will work three days a week in exchange for the campsite and services. We will work in the office taking reservations. I have my last blood test scheduled for 4/13 before we leave. I will post more then. bye George
