The oncologist and I had a long discussion of whether to continue the chemo or not but since I'm doing so well and tolerate it pretty well we elected to continue until the end of the year and get another MRI later this year. I send a lot of blood to UCLA every few months but the only way to know is by MRI. They hope on the study they can identify other markers to help determine the course of disease. Please keep the prayers for continues healong and remissin and for business to pick up in the office as I'm starting to work some shifts for other doctors to aid clinic income and looking into some home health directorships. In the meantime I feel great and there is next to nothing tht I don't feel I can do except when on the chemo that makes you tired and a little grouchy. I'm trying to do better especially around the ones who love you the most. You are loved Dr Jim and family. It's been a good two years a lot better than the 5-6 months I was given, God knows best.
