In the News!

We got quite a surprise last week.  Louise was reading our local paper, when she almost jumped out of her seat as she saw that I was the subject of the weekly Opinion column! You can see the article here. Many thanks to the Tillman family, and to our friend Doug Miller for that. I have been the subject of so many random acts of kindness in recent months, and this was yet another example.

Eleven days post chemo #6 as I write. Took a little longer to recover from this one. My white cell counts went down to 300 at one stage, a very low number apparently. I certainly felt more fatigued this go around. On top of that the holiday schedule is in full swing, so it has been difficult to get enough rest, but every day further out is an improvement.

At present I do not have Chemo #7 scheduled. I am due to have a PET scan on January 2nd. I will then meet with Dr. K on January 4th. It will be decided then whether I will be getting more chemo. If the scan is clear there is every chance that I may be done with the chemotherapy. No popping champagne corks though at this time in the Eyes household. I have to be prepared for the fact that I may, or may not, need more treatment. I am just going to enjoy the Holiday season with the family.

Just a few days of school left until the winter break now. All the best to you and yours, and thanks again to all for your wonderful support.

Paul it was great to see you at the Holiday Silver Table Soccer tournament in which you did an amazing job organizing and hosting. You truly are a role model in life for many of us and I couldn't be happier to see you doing so well. I wish you and your family a very safe and happy holiday!

So glad that you're able to enjoy Christmas. I was thinking about you a lot while I was enjoying time with my family.

Paul,
Want to wish you and Louise and the family a Happy New Year and to say that I am thinking and praying for you today Jan. 2 while you go for your test.
By the way I was watching while your Manchester City had a good 0-0 draw with Liverpool the other day. And I noted that a rival Manchester United lost the same day.
Well keep up your spirits.
