That is good news.
:D

Glad to hear that he has remained in remission - I have followed this story closely, as I am a transplant coordinator at a major cancer facility in Tampa, with our highest transplant population being Multiple Myeloma.

The Hutch is a great place as well - our new program director came to us from there. It's a top notch facility.

I hope that he is now on the road to feeling healthier and stronger and that his MM will remain in remission for years to come.

Best Wishes :)

This is SUPER to hear !!!
Our prayors are with your guys !


PS. While he's sitting around resting up, Give him a pen and paper ! He can start making some notes for Skater Fest 2004 !! :cool: See you there !;)

I wish I could say that Dirty Race Girl, but the disease did come out of remission.

Plans are to get Doug prepped for another trip to Seattle. I believe he has an appointment with his original doctor next week.

Doug had to fire this last doctor! :hothead: :hothead: :hothead: He couldn't answer many of Doug's questions.

He will be in much better hands now... ;)

I just received this email from Leeanne:

Hi,

Doug is gravely ill and back in the hospital. This AM they did a liver biopsy. After numerous tests this past week something showed up on an x-ray. No one is sure yet what we're dealing with this time. It could be nothing or something. They discontinued his chemo because it isn't working any longer. The docs said that his cancer treatment will be secondary to this new acute liver problem. Once that is dealt with, they'll resume with new meds. He also has what appears to be thrush. By Wednesday we should know more. Please, remember him in your prayers. He needs them now more than ever.
Thank you.

Leeanne

Godspeed Doug! My prayers are with you..... :(

I will stop by the church this morning and pray for him before I head out in the boat.
