I used to breeze through my chemo treatments feeling that I was getting off easy. Slowly, very subtly, but without question I am increasingly weaker, tired, and easily out of breath.
I had completely forgotten about the, “brink of death” part of chemotherapy. I’ve seen it in the past, where chemo seemed to bring a patient to that point, to then be rescued and hopefully cured. I imagine this chemo journey I’m on could end at that brink.
WARNING: SARCASM
At work, I told my boss about my realization. I told him that if I am on the road to the brink, I suspect I will need to modify my work schedule, and if I actually reach the brink of death, I may only be able to work half days.
HELLO Scott I pray and hope things will turn out good. I will keep you in my thoughs like I have all of the time. We still have a meeting in september god willing will let us keep that meeting. I wish you all of the luck I can send. I have heard of what your saying . So I can only pray for the best for ya . Thanks DON

Thanks, Don. Sorry about the delay getting back. I’ll be having a bone marrow biopsy in a couple weeks, and then I will be seeing a stem cell transplant specialist after that. It’s kind of exciting to see where this goes next.
Nothing clever or witty. Just know I love you and still pray for you. Will call you this week
Hi, Dave: I thank you for the love and prayers. I hope to see you sometime.
