Lbj...I think you’re just a bad mamajama. Glad you’re getting along well.

I'm really glad to hear this. I get scans every 4 months and it's nerve racking waiting for the results as you know.

Keep crushing the odds Tom. You are an inspiration.

Those are great numbers considering what you've endured.
My Hgb is around 13.5 (it was in the high 15's when I was young).

He is almost 13 months old.

I had a scan last Wednesday.

I was worried that the 3 week hospital stay back in Jan/Feb and the resulting 7 week lack of cancer treatment might mean an advancement of the disease.

Last Thursday, I was told the scan looks like the one from December 2017, so no apparent advancement.

That is good news.

I had infusion yesterday and the blood is continuing to improve.
Creatinine steady at 1.90.
Hemoglobin up to 13.9.

He's a good looking kid for sure.

He eats like crazy.

Your a fine looking fella, for a dead guy!

In all seriousness, may God grant you better health and long life.

You are one of the most inspiring people to put your appreciation of life and all it has to give, out in the open.

You certainly do honor the gift.

Thank you.
