Thought I would let everybody know what is going on these days...We went back to MUSC in April and they are very pleased with how well Daddy is doing. The doctor actually said that it is debatable whether or not he really came out of remission. He said Daddy has no other signs besides the blood work. He is thrilled with how well he is responding to the new chemo. He recommended backing off the steroid and possibly lowering the dose of chemo. So, Daddy took that information back to the oncologist in Georgetown and he agreed. So...NO MORE STEROIDS!! This is big news. They really do a number on Daddy so we are going to give it a go without them for a while. Once he gets the cancer count down to zero (remember it is 0.4 now), they will back off of the chemo and use it more like a maintenance drug. Daddy was thrilled because another transplant is not being mentioned right now. We know that God touched Daddy in church about a month ago. We don't give chemo the credit. It is God who continues to work miracles in Daddy's life and we are forever grateful.
In other news, the Relay committee has asked Daddy to lead the first lap at our local Relay and carry the torch. They also asked him to speak but he volunteered Moma for that. I can't imagine why :) Daddy is not one that likes the spotlight so this is hard for him. But, he realizes how much God has blessed him and is willing to witness for Him however he can. So, I hope you all can plan to attend on May 20th. It is a lot of fun and I am so thankful that Daddy is doing so well and is able to be a part of Relay. What a difference a year makes!
~much love to you all
