A Message Of Love For Bill  & Denise

Bill's Newsletters To Family & Friends

14th Newsletter -

Hello All,

Unlike past updates, this update is coming out not so long after my last update (i.e. sorry for being a pest:), but good news on the forefront. I am being admitted into the hospital later today to start my high dose chemo and a stem cell transplant, which I have been waiting for quite a while. Pin point radiation on my brain went very well, with no side effects, but my cancer marker (i.e. HCG) is still rising (i.e. 5,600) meaning that there is other cancer in my body that needs to be addressed. So, here we go, again!!!

Starting today, I will be in the hospital for about two and a half weeks followed by another ten days of rest at home, which will complete my first dose of treatment. Then, I will need to repeat this treatment another two times (i.e. for a total of 3 doses), which will take me into January of next year to complete. So, this will be a big deal!!! However, I have been fortunate in the past where chemotherapy has not affected me adversely too much. So, I am hopeful that this trend will continue!!! Also, chemotherapy treatment has been VERY effective in engaging and killing my cancer to date. So, too, I am hopeful AND optimistic that this trend will continue, as well.

So, just wanted to let everyone know that I will be busy over the next several months for reasons other than the holiday season, BUT… I am figuring that my time will be less stressful than most of yours:) So, please continue to stay in touch AND whenever possible, reach out to my beautiful wife, Denise, who continues to be a saint through all of this, which has to be tough!!!

We love you all!!!!!

Bill and Denise

P.S. Hi Rick Young… can you please forward this email to Bob Brown as I still can not get his work email address to work!!! Hope all is well with everyone at the EWC!!! Thanks!!!
