Well, as of yesterday, Dave has 5 million of his own stem cells back in his body, kicking Myeloma Butt. The staff at Brigham and Women's told Kathy today that Dave is exactly where they want him to be as far as 'medical progress'. That's great news. He is feeling tired, somewhat nauseous, but he is eating and able to socialize for a few hours at a time. That's also great! Don't despair if you have sent him an e-mail and he hasn't responded. That does knock the wind out of him since he is a 'one finger pecker' typist. It's good for him to hear from you, though, just know that he is not ignoring your message. When he is stronger, he will get back to you.
It seems, after talking to Kathy, that Dave is really doing pretty well, considering the circumstances. He probably will get a little bit worse, before he gets better. Chemotherapy tends to rear its ugly side effects a week or so after it gets into your body.
So far, for our friend Dave, things look quite positive.
It's gotta be those Happy Thoughts, ya think?

'The Heart of a Lion' is inscribed across the top and Dave's championship titles are on the bottom. I will try to get a better photo, that will enlarge when you click on it.

Hi, Dave! This is Kristin Thomas, who is the Editor of the CHSAA magazine, The Lion's Pride. I"m just working on the latest issue, and wanted to stop in and say great job on "kicking Myeloma Butt!" My dad has Chronic Lymphatic Lymphoma (gosh, why are these things so hard to spell!), so these cells need all the butt kicking they deserve!
I'm thinking good thoughts for you, as are all the CHS alums. Take good care! - Kristin Thomas '87
