So how are those 4th of July hangovers treating you? I think it is pretty safe to say that this is the first clear headed July 5th I have had in close to two decades. So with that said, I felt really good today and it looks like I have officially squeaked by round one of chemo with little to no side effects. I'm feeling pretty good about that.
As far as next steps go, Steve will be going through some testing early next week to see if he is a match for a bone marrow transplant. We should hopefully know by the end of the week if we have a match or not. In addition to that, I will be going through my own bone marrow testing to see just how much damage that first round of chemo did to the cancer cells currently polluting my body. Based on some early signs, things are looking like it was pretty effective, but we won't know until the test results come back, just how effective it was. From there we'll have a much better picture of what future treatment looks like.
So there you have it, two really big tests to get through next week. You will know shortly after us how things turned out. Take care everyone and thanks for reading.

Hi Kurtel,
Rain delay right now but Federer looks like he's had it - is 2 games from giving the title to Nadal! I was hoping his South African genes would continue to play havoc with anyone on the other side of the court...oh well!! Can you believe Venus and Serena made $2.5m yesterday - singles and doubles!! Very cool!
Saw Ironman last night with Manny -very exciting and excellent! Manny asked me to give you his best.
Love you Sweetie - hope you have a good day today and see you soon!

Hi Kurt!
So glad to hear that things haven't been going so well and that your spirits are up. That's the way to kick it! Positive vibes and good karma go a long way when you're fighting a battle.
You have our prayers and best wishes with you....from all of us - Bob, Sara, me and the rest of the crew.
P.S. If Floyd needs a place to hang....I'm sure Captain wouldn't mind...hmmm at least I think he wouldn't.
