A Message Of Love For Bill  & Denise

Bill's Newsletters To Family & Friends

2nd Newsletter -

Hello All,

Sorry for not getting an update out sooner than this, but there is a lot going on.

I was temporarily discharged from the hospital on Wednesday afternoon, 1/8, after getting good news from the results of my initial chemotherapy that things have been settled down somewhat and no side effects from chemotherapy. We were sent back to our hotel with a great many prescriptions that we need to ensure I am taking at the right times for continuing the healing until my next potential chemotherapy, possibly starting on Wednesday of next week, 1/15.

Since last Wednesday, I have been trying to get my strength back as being bed-ridden in a hospital takes a lot out of you. Getting my breathing back was the main battle, which is getting much better, but then I am also required to monitor and administer insulin injections on a daily basis as one of my necessary prescriptions raises my blood sugar levels as a side effect. While restoring my energy levels, everything takes a bit longer to do. So, don't be discouraged by an occassional gap in status, as we are doing well.

So, this is it for now! I've updated the fax number at our hotel in the attachment.

Denise has been a saint going through all of this with me! I couldn't imagine going through anything like this without her (and all of your support, as well).

Love you all and I will get through this!

Bill F.
