update/status

The chemo is reacting well to my tumor and lymph nodes....reduction in size and am continuing treatments for another 3 months...looks as if surgery may be in the JAN time frame.

I am still waiting for the results from the most recent trip to M.D. Anderson as there is still some debate on whether or not I did/do actually have a spot of cancer in my liver.  I will do my best to keep updates coming in a timely manner.

I also made a recent trip to Austin, TX to participate in the 10th Annual Ride for the Roses weekend.  I was invited because we (Tray Vedock and myslef) raised over $36,000 on behalf of the Lance Armstrong Foundation.  The weekend inlcuded a private bike ride with Lance where I rode beside him for appx 5 minutes.  It was quite the weekend and will be in my memories forever.  I plan on doing another fundraiser for next year and want to exceed the amount raised this year.

Thank you all for your support/concern/phone calls/cards and the meals prepared & delivered to us by Nicole's Tri Delta sisters.

Cheers,

darin.
