Well, not much excitement since last post. I have been in and out of the clinic for blood count checks and they began coming up as of 7-20. That being said, I didn't have to be in the clinic all last week!! I'll be back in the clinic for a blood check tomorrow to see if things are still progressing as planned for my next treatment.

As you can see by the pictures, I have had plenty of time to spend with Kylee!! Kylee and Alison talked me into riding the horse they lease. Riding Vivian was ok, but I'm a city guy at heart.......not many horses in the city :-) The next picture is in front of the Independence High School basketball office. I haven't been back to my place of work since diagnosis in January. It felt weird, but I was able to retrieve some of my personal items from the office.

I go back into the hospital on 8-3-09 for treatment cycle 4 part A. I'm hanging in there b/c of all the love and support I get from everybody.................thanks!!! Take care until next time.

It's Alison! Well it has been a couple weeks since last post and a lot has happened. We were able to join my family for an annual July reunion for a couple days in Charleston, SC last week. Kylee enjoyed the time with her cousins. This week Kancho's sister Fran and mother Elsa are visiting. Kylee and Fran got their nails painted Monday! Kancho has been to the clinic daily and his blood and platelet counts have gradually improved , however his white blood cell counts remain low. We have an appointment with the oncologist tomorrow to see what the next treatment step will be before stem cell transplant in September.

Thanks for all the continued support and prayers.

Go Redskin Fans!!!

Luv
