My crankiness meter is reading a little high over this cause it turns out he had 2 compression fractures when tested 2 years ago and nobody told us. Anyway you may already know from my blog but when Tim's transplant did aboslutely nothing and his numbers continued to rise, his doc had all sorts of dire news for us. He's high risk now, it's aggressive disease, YADDA YADDA YADDA. Well Tim's in CR with no meds since May after just 4 cycles of Vel/Dex. His doc has been doing this 20 years and was wrong about a lot. I've met many who got no help from transplant and are still going strong years later and I'm betting you'll be one of them.tim's wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08605449376728668764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687309633062655086.post-52342875905800137852009-02-04T10:36:00.000-05:002009-02-04T10:36:00.000-05:00Your attitude rocks, LaCoot!

I saw a response he left for you at one point and have been follwing his story since. Although he's in a much different boat than most people I have come in contact with, I walk away with a lot of great information to use while my husband and I navigate the Big C waters.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077796052987405590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687309633062655086.post-12487258673876186172009-02-03T22:09:00.000-05:002009-02-03T22:09:00.000-05:00I meant "to live," not "to living."I meant "to live," not "to living."Kathy from NJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07502604640751977016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687309633062655086.post-90304262228147411072009-02-03T21:49:00.000-05:002009-02-03T21:49:00.000-05:00I am so very sorry to hear that the your cancer is...I am so very sorry to hear that the your cancer is the rotten aggressive kind.
