It's a Tough Battle

I had the opportunity to visit with Dave yesterday (I brought him the messages from the Guestbook and pasted them into the book that we had at the Fundraiser that not many of you got to sign). Which brought him great joy, so if you haven't posted your message for Dave in the Guestbook, get crackin'. He needs those 'Happy Thoughts' if we expect him to fight this unpredictable disease.
The news on Tuesday from the Doc was not the best. Dave's vertebrae continue to deteriorate. Which causes him alot of pain. And the Myeloma numbers are not dropping as quickly as the Doc's had hoped. He is in very good spirits, though and he looks great, even with the weight loss. His focus right now is research. He is looking for some answers about the stem cell transplant choice, the bone damage, and overall what to expect from all of this. If any of you have access to information concerning his particular situation; I.E. chat rooms, websites, personal experience with Myeloma in a younger person with bone damage, PLEASE email ME so that I can get it to him. I don't want to overwhelm him with info, so I would prefer it if I could do the preliminary 'weeding'. (Thanks!) Which means that you can send ME anything that you think might help him with his research.
Your support of this Blog speaks milestones about the love and friendship that you have for Dave and Kathy. I want to thank you all again for checking in with us, daily. It means alot to them.
It's time to write down your 'Happy Thoughts'!
