everything is going as he expected. I am lined up for one more batch of Chemo, starting on Dec 27, and then off to Stem Cell Transplantation I go!

So good news, he was surprised how well I am reacting to the R.I.C.E. treatment (chemo) and was pleased with the results so far.

So THANKS TO ALL for the thoughts and prayerS!

God is GREAT! and I'm starting to believe that I'll be around a lot longer now =D

Amok,
Thanks for the update, you have made our evening with such good news. Keep up the good work and yes, the prayers will continue.

You'll be in my prayers.

Believe! man Believe! The stem cell thing worked well for a good friend of mine. It's amazing what they do! You have a lot of people praying for you too. So great news and I hope the news keeps getting better. Merry Christmas!

Oh, I believe, i just didn't BELIEVE all the time. Doubt creeps in every now and then when one isn't sure what's going on. I now KNOW what's going on. For certain. So no problem with belief here at this time.

Apparently, they've got this stem cell figured out fairly well, it's down to a 21 day stay (haha) instead of the "we don't know, maybe 50+ days" deal it used to be!

That's great news, Amok. Great news indeed. Continued best wishes.

great news!

Glad to hear it, Amok!

Amok,

Soli Deo Gloria !

Great news Amok. Keep on fighting.

*gets out his gloves*

Hopefully we'll knock this sucker out in round THREE! I'm thinkin' the GREATS always knocked'em flat by then, didn't they?

That's great news Amok! On the way to a full recovery!

I'm very happy to hear this Amok. Wonderful news. My prayers are with you. Have a great Christmas and holiday season!!!

Great to hear Amok, have a great Christmas.

Great news. As it has said before......One day at a time.

Great to hear...prayers will continue...one big upper cut to the under side of that big C should do it....8, 9, 10

Good news for sure. Best wishes and prayers for a full recovery.

AMOK - I didn't know about this. Yes, the stem cell tech is really coming on strong. A friend of mine is now in her 7th year since they beat her cancer with a total bone marrow stem cell replacement. She completely beat it! You can, too!
Merry X-Mas and Happy New Year!

Best wishes to you, Amok. Enjoy your Holidays. You definitely deserved it!

That's great, Amok. I'm so happy for you. Stay vigilant and positive.

I see a Spring BW trip in your future. Great news Amok.

Sounds great Amok. You know Diva and I wish you the best. Be well heal fast.

Best wishes for a quick and complete recovery, Amok. You are a young man yet, and there is a lot of water yet to explore...

YOUNG? According to his profile he is about to turn 111!! :-)

All kidding aside, best wishes Amok, and have a very happy New Year (which I assume is not your birthday!)

Merry Christmas, too!

You have been in my prayers and will continue to be.

LOL Spartan2.

Im a bit of a paranoid sort (its a handle for me on a different board, even!) so I normally don't fill that stuff out very completely.

I'll change it. I'm 42. so i've got another 42 years left, easy. All the other stuff seems to work fine, lol

My bday is August 26 =D

Thanks for all the prayers and good wishes, it's working out!!! I think I may be at the Jan Wingnite if all goes well. otherwise i'll be checking in online because this transplant is going to take 21 days, my last chemo starts on the 27th of December, and im not sure when i get to donate to myself.

Wishing the best to you Amok - you'll be in our prayers!

I love hearing the updates and the positive tone of your posts... I look forward to many many more!

Funny thing, he's the same age as a lot of other folks. Musta been something in the water back at the turn of the previous century.

That's great news, Amok. So glad to hear it.

One of my daughters discovered stage 4 melanoma at age 32, and my mother has battled cancer 3 times. Both are alive and well and cancer free.

Here is a great verse that has helped us deal with all the uncertainty in times like this.

“Don’t let the wise boast in their wisdom, or the powerful boast in their power, or the rich boast in their riches. But those who wish to boast should boast in this alone: that they truly know me and understand that I am the Lord who demonstrates unfailing love and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth, and that I delight in these things.

Jeremiah 9:23-24

Old Hoosier

That's awesome! Thanks, Old Hoosier!

They said the odds of this working were 50/50 this time around. The first time, it was 90%. that worked, so I reckon this will too! Especially with God on my side, and all of the thoughts and prayers that have been going up on my behalf from others.

Thanks again, all!
