Julie and I met with my oncologist in Omaha today. Good news -- the cancer is in remission! This does not mean that I have been cured but as of now there is an absence of disease activity in my body. I can now proceed with the process of re-introducing my harvested stem cells. Yeah!
The beginning step in the process is to complete a week of chemotherapy starting tomorrow.
I hope to complete this final phase of my treatment with the chemotherapy and re-introduction of my stem cells in the next three weeks. Following my hospitalization, the doctor recommends a recovery period of about thirty days. After that I plan to be back in my office at work.
On the MRI front, the test showed that my brain is fine – nothing unusual. Whew!
I am grateful for the good news of the day and especially for all of the support, prayers and encouragement from everyone. Thank you.
Grace and peace,
Tim.

ReplyDeleteThat is great news. Good luck with the chemo this week. Then for the "calvery of good cells" to invade your body. There is a light shinning bright for you at the end of the tunnel. We love you and are thinking of you constantly. Our prayers are with you. Kay and Jim
