Latest news about our friend John. Please keep him in your thoughts and continue supporting him!

=======================================

John is getting close to crossing the finish line.
Posted 52 minutes ago
HI all,
I talked with John yesterday and this is the report:
1) Our sister who lives near John is away on vacation and I've had a difficult time getting in touch with him. I understand some of you have also had difficulty. John says he's having trouble with his computer and his mail box fills rapidly. My email bounced back...and for a while his phone voice mail box was full, too. Fortunately I finally got through by phone.
2) He became so dehydrated he had to spend a few days in the hospital. He said he also had pneumonia.
3) He is home now, but very weak and reports that he has trouble eating.
4) In spite of all this, he seemed in fair spirits. He FEELS that he is close. And, as the last tests were negative he has high hopes that the next test will signal an end to the treatments.
4) A CAT-scan is scheduled for October 6. At that point, the doctor will decide if he is DONE with chemo (wouldn't that be great!) or he could decide John needs up to two more cycles. At the earliest, John could be done now. At the LATEST, John would be done with treatment in November.

Please keep him close in your thoughts, as he nears the finish line! It seems he can be done with all this soon and then truly begin the journey toward renewed strength and regaining his life. What hope for the new year!

He has come SO FAR, let's help him rally for this last lap!

Again, thanks from the family for your continued concern and support.

Debbie
