We were at the Doctors office this afternoon. Earlier in the week, I found out my Blood Cancer Markers had risen from 1,000 to 1,600. The last test saw a rise from 645 to 1,000. I had blown that initial rise off on the 5 weeks I had off of Chemo. I just knew I was going to get a year or more out of the first treatment, but it appears that it quit working at 6 months.
There are three treatments I can have. Now there appears to be two treatments left. It was a sobering thought simply because I feel great and the Chemo Cocktail that pulled me from the brink has now left me high and dry.
What’s next? A Pet Scan next Thursday. Possible traveling to a distant city to see another Doctor for a Clinical Trial fit. I’m healthy and my Doctor said this is the time to seek other options. So I’ll be going through some evaluations in the upcoming weeks to see what I’m eligible for. I really hope those evaluations produce some good results. I’m not ready to start the 2nd of 3 treatments yet.
In the meantime, I feel good. We’ll get all this figured out and I’ll keep fighting. Maybe this time, I won’t be caught off guard when bad news hits. Or maybe I will. I don’t want to sit around counting my troubles when I can sit around counting my blessings 🙂
Stay tuned….

Tim, Do what you can while you can. Live life to the fullest.
My John always said he wasn’t here for a long time but intended it to be a good time.
He wasn’t here as long as I would have liked but we did have a good time for 51 years.
Love and hugs to you and Michelle. Prayers are constant.
