Sorry it has been so long since we last updated everyone. Since last we wrote Dad and Mom went to Salt Lake for a visit with a specialist on bone marrow. She said that he really isn't a candidate, and that the radiation they would do beforehand could possibly kill him. He is doing really good with the path he's on, so she would recommend that he stay on that path and do a 2 year maintenance. That would include: a pill a day, a shot a week, and a small chemo bag every month for the whole two years.
Dad didn't get any help this last round to get his numbers up faster because they wanted his body to do the work on its own. It took until Monday the 25th to start his next cycle of chemo. This is cycle number 6, which is the harder set of drugs. We're hoping his body can adjust accordingly.
He is in room 797
Phone 801-357-5797
We would once again like to thank everyone for your support and ask that you continue. If any on you have a little extra time in your busy lives we know he would love to see or hear from you.
